Overview
The Faculty of Education – Sana’a holds the distinction of being the first faculty established in the Republic of Yemen. Founded in 1970/1971, it was one of the two inaugural faculties that formed the nucleus of Sana’a University, alongside the Faculty of Sharia and Law. Initially, the Faculty of Education covered the disciplines of Arts, Science, and Education, before becoming an independent faculty in the academic year 1973/1974.
The Faculty’s beginnings were modest, with just eleven male and female students enrolled at its inception. The enrollment, however, steadily increased, reaching 2,925 students by the academic year 1988/1989. This growth continued, with male and female student numbers hitting 10,164 across eleven undergraduate programs in the academic year 2001/2002. In addition, the Faculty offered postgraduate studies in ten departments, accommodating a total of 250 male and female students.
Academically, the Faculty initially followed an annual system. In the academic year 1978/1979, it transitioned to a semester system. Subsequently, the Faculty adopted the credit hour system in 1980/1981. However, at a later date, the Faculty decided to revert to the semester system, which remains in place today.
