An official document revealed on Tuesday that teachers loyal to the Saudi-backed Islah militia have been assigned to take part in battle in the Tor al-Baha area of Lahj province.
The document, issued by a commander of the so-called 4th Mountain Infantry Brigade, Brigadier General Abu Bakr al-Jabbuli, requested the local council’s officials in Al-Maqatera district to assign 11 teachers for the brigade and allow them to continue their work at the front.
The document clarified the approval by the local council, to facilitate the tasks of teachers required to be assigned to the battle fronts.
Educational sources in the district expressed their concerns about these measures, which would negatively affect students if their teachers are forced to be at the front lines.
