Yemen's teachers are being pushed to financial brink due to the collapse of their salaries due to a decade-long conflict between the Iran-backed Houthis and the Saudi-backed government. Mohammed Salem, a teacher with 31 years of experience, works three jobs at a government-run school and a hotel. Despite these additional jobs, he earns less than half of what he made a decade ago, down from $320 a month to $130. The conflict has devastated Yemen's main sources of revenue, including oil exports, customs and taxes, and has led to the loss of nearly 6.6 million school children and the destruction of about two-thirds of the national national salaries. The Houthis have not paid public sector salaries since late 2016. The Yemeni government has also failed to raise public sector wages or pay them regularly due to dwindling revenues.
