Education* education and English education (View)

It has been ten years since we first started the education page in the Yemen Times. Led by Dr. Ramakanta Sahu* English Associate professor at the University of Science and Technology* the idea started to fill a gap for Yemeni youth* especially university students* aspiring to improve their English.Ten years have passed since then and there has been enormous feedback* as well as many contributions from students and readers. Although many of the educational materials are written by non-Yemeni professors* those who benefit are mostly Yemenis.The education page* which today is a monthly supplement* aims at creating a platform for Yemenis to learn more about English* education and to interact with each other* especially as university communities. The "Improve your English" series* today a pack of 321 lessons* is a comprehensive wealth of educational materials for middle level English students on grammar* linguistics* phrases and idioms and many other English language skills. We plan to publish it in a booklet format and make it available at a discounted price as a package to English language students in Yemeni universities and all interested.We also plan to expand the education supplement to include more interactive features and perhaps competitions between university colleges around the country.However* the most exciting point is that the number of readers among the Yemeni youth is increasing rapidly. They understand that English is an important language and even their ticket to a better and global career. This is why we are encouraged to take this service further for the sake of youths' development and the country's prosperity as a whole. Finally* all our gratitude to Dr. Sahu who has been the man behind this project* and who has given it his uttermost* even in the darkest hours and when he was very ill. As we celebrate the supplement?s ten years anniversary* we hope that we continue to provide and inform in a professional way* to fulfill the newspaper's founder's dream for Yemen through the Yemen Times: "To make Yemen a good world citizen"....
