In a significant meeting held in the temporary capital, Aden, Yemen’s Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Muammar Al-Eryani, engaged with the leadership of the Jamil Ghanem Institute of Fine Arts. The discussions centered on the educational process, the conditions of the students, and the institute’s needs for musical instruments and educational supplies.
Al-Eryani also delved into the major obstacles and challenges the institute faces in fulfilling its mission of youth qualification and training in various arts. He praised the institute’s decades-long role in teaching music and commemorated the late musician Ahmed bin Ahmed Qasim, who founded the institute. The minister encouraged the leadership to redouble their efforts to transform the institute into a modern and innovative musical edifice.
The meeting, attended by key figures including the Deputy Minister of Culture for Arts and Theater, Najib Thabit, and the institute’s director, Fouad Meqbel, also discussed a request from the Ministry of Defense. The request aimed at training personnel from the Military Music Institute to re-establish the brass band at the Jamil Ghanem Institute. A committee had been previously assigned to explore this possibility in coordination with the institute’s management, considering the available resources and specializations.
Minister Al-Eryani directed the institute’s leadership to communicate and follow up with the Ministry of Finance regarding the institute’s budget, which had been previously discussed with the Budget Department of the Ministry of Finance. He also instructed the preparation of a proposal outlining the institute’s needs for musical instruments, along with the associated costs.
This engagement highlights the Yemeni government’s commitment to enhancing cultural and educational institutions, ensuring they have the necessary resources and support to thrive. The meeting not only focused on immediate needs but also on long-term strategies to enhance the country’s cultural landscape.
