The legal framework for private higher education in Yemen

Abstract

Law in its general sense is a set of binding rules that govern the behavior of individuals and their relationships with society, with the aim of preserving individual freedoms and achieving their interests, and preserving the entity of society and ensuring its progress and prosperity. Human societies have begun to resort to the "power of law" instead of the "law of power".
The Yemeni society is considered one of the societies that are recently acquainted with the law, as it has gone through a long period of cultural interruption that has returned it to the original primitive state. The government's efforts to establish the foundations of the "state of order and law" are still faltering, as "organization" faces resistance from those who benefit from chaos.
In light of the rapid development of Yemeni society, new phenomena emerge, such as the spread of private universities, outside the legal framework. This research aims to study the adequacy of the legal framework represented in the "Draft Law on Private Universities, Colleges and Institutes" to regulate this educational process.
