    Balkh high schools get new buildings




    Two newly-constructed buildings for schools were inaugurated on Thursday in northern Balkh province, officials said. One of buildings for Seikh Mohammad Siddique High School cost $150,000 which had been provided by the UN-Habitat, with area residents contributing 25,000 afghanis, Education Director Qais Mehrain told Pajhwok Afghan News.
    He said the structure has administrative rooms and 16 classrooms accommodating 4,000 students.
    The second building for the Ghulam Mohammad Maimangi High School cost $245,000, a joint venture of UNICEF and UN-Habitat. Area people contributed 20 percent of the amount.
    Balkh has 504 schools where 10,199 teachers impart education to 54,0178 pupils, including 22,8812 females.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
