وزارة التعليم العالي و البحث العلمي اليمنية

Established in 1970, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of Yemen is the government ministry responsible for overseeing and regulating higher education, research and innovation in Yemen. Its mission is to develop and promote high-quality tertiary education and research, foster innovation and entrepreneurship and enhance the skills and capabilities of the Yemeni workforce.

The ministry is responsible for formulating policies, strategies and plans for higher education, research and innovation in Yemen. It also regulates and monitors the quality of higher education institutions and programs in the country, ensures that they are aligned with the needs of the labor market and promotes internationalization and collaboration with institutions abroad.

In addition, the ministry provides financial support and scholarships to Yemeni students to study abroad, promotes scientific research and development and supports the transfer of technology and knowledge from academia to industry.

However, the ongoing conflict in Yemen has severely affected the country's education system, including higher education, with many universities and academic institutions being damaged or destroyed and many students and scholars displaced or unable to continue their studies. The ministry continues to work under challenging conditions to provide access to education and support research and innovation in the country.
