The purpose of this study is to recognize the causes of overcrowding in primary schools in the north of Yemen, from the viewpoint of Yemeni teachers. The researcher took a qualitative approach. An online semi-structured interview was used for collecting the data. This research was conducted on teachers from Yemen's various primary schools. They were questioned about overcrowding in classrooms and the factors that contribute to it. Findings revealed that lacking infrastructure such as classrooms is one of the causes of such overcrowding. Other causes are to have only one school in some areas, and not having enough teaching staff.
