"Right now there are some 300,000 college-educated Yemenis out of work — partly because of poor training and partly because there are no jobs — 15,000 schoolchildren not attending any classes, 65 percent of teachers with only high school degrees and thousands of kids learning little more than religious doctrines." ---Thomas Friedman, NY Times, February 10, 2010
About
in the muffrajj
Kipp Cozad began his interest in Yemen with a two year stint in the US Peace Corps. While teaching English as a Foreign Language, Kipp documented his stay in Yemen with an old Canon AE-1 35mm camera. Kipp never forgot the students he taught in Yemen; the old pictures remained a constant reminder of that isolated land. With a collapsing economy and the weight of Islamic fundamentalism threatening Yemen on the fringes, a failing Yemeni public school system continues to fuel the radicalism in South Arabia. Kipp's aim is to draw US attention to the state of Yemen's rural schools. Kipp is a Social Studies teacher at the Plaza Academy and is currently working on his Master's degree in Modern World History with an emphasis on the Yemen Civil War 1962-1970.
