Summer Courses: Educational momentum that Shapes awareness, reshapes generations
Sana'a - Saba:
The country's educational landscape is witnessing widespread activity, shaped by summer courses spread across all governorates. The number of students enrolled this year has risen to more than 1.25 million students, representing an unprecedented turnout, organization, and engagement, reflecting growing community confidence in this pioneering national project.
The summer courses have extended to every district and sub-district, in both rural and urban areas, covering a broad map of Yemeni geography. This enhances their presence and consolidates their vital cognitive role as an effective tool in building the youth and instilling concepts of belonging and identity.
Since its launch, the summer courses have provided an integrated educational model that transcends traditional approaches. They offer a diverse content that encompasses the teaching of the Holy Quran and its sciences, cultural and intellectual concepts, life skills, sports, agricultural, and creative activities, and tourism and knowledge programs that broaden participants' horizons and connect them to the environment and community.
The experience was based on a cohesive administrative structure, led by the Supreme Central Committee, professionally managed by the Technical Committee, and implemented by field teams and subcommittees in the governorates, directorates, and districts. This has created a high capacity for organization, discipline, and continuous interaction with changes in the field.
The daily monitoring of the summer courses and the ongoing evaluations have enhanced the quality of performance and contributed to addressing challenges and improving programs. This has provided a stimulating educational climate within classrooms and created a learning environment that encourages active engagement and participation by male and female students.
Daily activities were characterized by their vitality and diversity. Many of the courses featured student initiatives, training workshops, discussion sessions, and group activities. These contributed to developing a spirit of leadership, cooperation, and responsibility among young people, forming a solid foundation for instilling self-confidence and conscious openness to the world around them.
Creative programs are witnessing remarkable development, with their outputs producing promising talents in the fields of drawing, singing, public speaking, writing, and acting. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the environment provided by the courses in embracing and developing energies based on authentic educational foundations.
The agricultural and crafts programs provided rich practical content that reconnected students to the land and environment, forming a foundation for building a productive mindset that connects to daily life and enhances the status of work as a national and social value.
In the field of sports, activities provide opportunities to hone physical skills and develop a spirit of challenge, cooperation, and commitment. Students participated in various competitions carefully designed to create a balance between mental effort and physical activity.
Girls actively participated in these courses, and girls' schools witnessed advanced levels of performance, discipline, and excellence, particularly in Quranic and creative activities. This reflects the success of educational approaches to strengthening the role of girls and empowering them intellectually and spiritually.
This year's summer courses demonstrated their ability to create an attractive and influential educational environment, providing students with a free platform for expression, a safe space for development, and an integrated system that takes into account diversity and difference, providing participants with a unique experience that accompanies them on their cognitive and social journey.
This experience represented a true meeting point between the state and society, as the efforts of the government, educational institutions, local committees, and community initiatives integrated, establishing a national model based on partnership, awareness, and shared will.
The Revolutionary Leadership is closely following the activities of the courses and has emphasized, on various occasions, their pivotal role in building the cultural and educational front. Meanwhile, the Supreme Political Council has supported this experience as a strategic tool in building knowledge for the future generation according to the methodology of the Quran and religious sciences.
The Government of Change and Construction played an effective role in the success of the summer courses, providing an appropriate organizational environment, follow-up, and field visits. This contributed to enhancing performance stability and enabling educational administrations to implement quality activities that reflected the trend toward building renewed cognitive and cultural awareness, meeting the needs of young people and establishing a conscious generation fortified with values and identity.
Parents demonstrated tangible engagement with this experience through their follow-up and encouragement. The courses represented a conscious educational choice for families and a source of reassurance, guiding children toward a safe environment rich in content that enhances the mental, cognitive, and religious behavior of those enrolled in the summer courses.
A number of governorates have demonstrated exemplary models of supervisory teams that have achieved outstanding results by innovating local implementation methods that embody the spirit of initiative and creativity. These efforts have contributed to giving the experience a tangible development dimension, reflecting the impact of the summer courses in instilling values of belonging and teamwork, and developing educational and cultural skills among students. This has enhanced their awareness and contributed to the development of a generation aware of their issues and identity.
As the summer courses draw to a close, the governorates are preparing to hold concluding events that reflect the fruits of the efforts exerted throughout the activities. Program outcomes will be presented, highlighting outstanding student models in various scientific, cultural, and artistic fields. This interactive event documents and commemorates these achievements, giving this phase a fully celebratory atmosphere that reflects the extent of community interaction and the spirit of creativity that pervaded the course atmosphere.
These events carry great symbolism, representing the culmination of weeks of tireless work, highlighting the successes achieved, and opening a broader horizon for future courses, which are expected to be even more profound.
This season has proven that summer courses are gradually transforming from a seasonal activity into a fully integrated educational institution, evolving year after year, expanding its social, cultural, and cognitive impact, and becoming a profound part of the national construction equation.
This experience was considered a pivotal moment in shaping collective awareness, mobilizing national capabilities, and fortifying generations with knowledge and identity. It is presented today as a successful model for managing educational projects under exceptional circumstances and challenges.
Thus, summer courses prove to be a strategic milestone in building awareness and developing human capital. Schools embodied the spirit of the national project, and the educational field embraced the seeds of cognitive and cultural transformation. Thousands of qualified individuals emerged from these courses, empowered to carry the banner of values and confidently shape the future in a nation that rises with its own will and paves the way toward a promising tomorrow with steadfastness, awareness, and competence.

My Level in Middle School
During middle school, I was not an exceptional student, but my overall performance was satisfactory throughout the three years. I never failed in any subject, although I often passed some classes with great difficulty. I had a natural inclination towards social studies, where I excelled, followed by the sciences. My results in mathematics were generally acceptable, even though I later struggled in practical reality, often failing to grasp the concept of counting beyond a million. I might squander money, but I never regret it. I excelled at failing to accumulate wealth or save for a rainy day. Perhaps I consider myself generous, and more often than not, I find myself not miserly. In some instances, I misjudge and see the little as too much. I still remember when I was a judge, evaluating the fees for the accountant Ahmed Saeed Al-Dahi. He reprimanded me with a phrase or a question in the courtroom, justly asking, 'Do you want me to work for free?' At that moment, I realized the folly I had fallen into while assessing those fees, perhaps stemming from my inexperience in valuing such work or my tendency to equate money's worth with my salary. National education or the history of the Yemeni revolution was perhaps more appealing to me than Islamic education, which held less significance in the overall curriculum. I found memorizing a verse more daunting than creating a clearing in a solid mountain. Memorizing a poem seemed far easier than committing a chapter of the curriculum to memory. To this day, I am haunted by the trauma of being beaten by my father for not memorizing 'Al-Fatihah.' My ability to memorize has weakened; my memory feels fragile. Forgetting has often overtaken much of what I painstakingly learned. I like to think that the gift of forgetfulness has buried the burdens of hatred and resentment that weigh heavily on the soul, distorting it with ugliness. I may rise in rebellion against injustice, fiercely confronting it, and I cannot tolerate the oppression of those who trample on truth. Yet, I also try to be forgiving towards those who oppose me. I do not sever ties completely and can even forgive those who have wronged me if the injustice ceases or if the perpetrator is removed. I lean towards values of love, freedom, and forgiveness—or so I claim, or rather, I strive to embody. I found some aspects of the Arabic language appealing, while others continue to elude me, leaving me feeling inadequate and unsuccessful even now. I have become hopeless at writing a single page without making spelling and grammatical errors. These issues have become another source of anxiety in my life, hampering much of what I write and tarnishing what I perceive as beautiful and enchanting. I fear they will accompany me until the end. History was the subject I enjoyed most in middle school, primarily because the teacher was well-versed in the material. He would not leave a lesson until he had conveyed it to our understanding. He explained the lesson thoroughly, then dictated it to us, and revisited it through discussion—repetition that was never tedious, all delivered with great humility and without fatigue. One of the most challenging subjects I faced during my middle school years was English. Schools in the south began teaching it from the fifth grade, while those in the north introduced it starting in the first year of middle school. When I completed the sixth grade in the north and moved to the first year of middle school in the south, I encountered a significant gap and immense difficulty in understanding the material. I had missed an entire year of English that I hadn't studied in the north, compounded by my prior struggles with the subject in the fifth grade at 'Sheb' school. This gap continued to widen throughout my subsequent educational journey, even extending into university, and the situation only worsened from there.
