Haiti - Education : Nearly 70 university schools closed due to violence
In a survey report conducted between February and April 2025 and published in early May, the Haitian Progressive Parents' Union (UPEPH) sounded the alarm, revealing that 69 public and private university schools are currently closed due to gang violence. This situation jeopardizes the future of thousands of students.

The report highlights that 12 schools at the State University of Haiti (UEH) are particularly affected by this security crisis, as they are located in areas controlled by armed groups. Among the most affected institutions are the School of Ethnology, the School of Medicine, the School of Letters, and the École Normale Supérieure.

No students have access to the School of Applied Linguistics, nor to other schools located in neighborhoods such as Monseigneur Guilloux, Oswald Durand, Avenue Christophe, Bois Verna, etc...

Technical training centers, such as the Center for fundamental Teacher Training, the Technical Center for Applied Economic Planning, and the National School of Arts, are also affected.

Private education is also suffering from the chaos caused by gangs, with 50 universities forced to suspend their activities, including the University of Port-au-Prince (UP), Quisqueya University (UNIQ), Notre Dame University, Lumière University, and the École Supérieure d’Infotronique d’Haïti.

These closures not only hinder vocational training but also weaken the education system's ability to prepare the country's future leaders.
