Sana'a: An expanded educational meeting in the capital Sana'a discussed on Tuesday the progress of education in boys' schools, the challenges facing school administrations and teaching staff.

According to Yemen News Agency, the meeting was attended by Education Sector official Abdulqader Al-Mahdi, Deputy Director of School Activities at the Ministry of Education Abdullah Al-Madani, several education officials, and school principals. The participants reviewed ways to address educational challenges through supportive and constructive approaches.

The meeting approved a package of measures to enhance the learning environment, reduce student dropout, morning lateness, and strengthen communication between schools and parents regarding students' absences and class dropouts.

Participants also highlighted the key role of school social workers in addressing the causes of dropout and monitoring students' academic performance and behavior through regular monthly action plans.
