DUBAI: Yemen’s government denounced Qatar Charity’s financing of the printing of a new schoolbook in Houthi-controlled areas, Saudi state news agency SPA reported on Friday.
“Iran backed Houthi militants, since their uprising, have started changing public school curriculums in Yemen to fit their malevolent sectarian ideology,” Yemen’s ministry of education said in a statement.
The ministry also said the changed curricula were destructive for the faith, patriotism and future of Yemeni students as they seeded ideological, religious and social extremism.
“By financing this book Qatar is participating in poisoning the mind of the Yemeni student,” the ministry added.
