    5 schools in Herat, Logar get buildings


    New buildings for five schools are being constructed in western Herat and central Logar provinces, officials said on Thursday.
    The structures in Herat are under construction in Farsi, Kuhansan and Pashtun Zarghon districts, a spokesman for the provincial Education Department, Mohammad Moeen Sabor, told Pajhwok Afghan News.
    The construction process would take about six months to complete, he said, adding the €400,000 project, a joint venture of Italy, Japan and the Afghan Ministry of Education, would facilitate 5,000 students.
    Elsewhere, construction work was launched Thursday on two school buildings in Pul-i-Alam, Logar’s capital, the Governor’s Office said in a statement.
    Each building would have 10 classrooms, administrative offices and other facilities, it said. The Education Ministry has allocated $200,000 for the project that is expected to be complete over the next five months.

    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!

      Flashy buildings are useless without qualified staff who stay there for the long-term.
      Many of these newly constructed buildings (both schools & hospitals) are abandoned soon after.

      The Education Ministry can throw however many hundreds of thousands of dollars it wants on concrete buildings but that wont solve Afghanistan's underlying problems concerning the sustainable & meaningful education of the future generations.

      I remember reading a few years ago about the chronic shortage of teachers (let alone teachers who are actually good at teaching). Around 50,000 more teachers were needed to plug the gap.


      I haven't kept up with the recent news concerning Afghanistan so I can't comment on whether the situation has improved but I remain doubtful.

        Never talk with Afghans about politics. All their political knowledge is limited to conspiracy theories, political demonization and contradictions. No logic, no reason.
