RASC News Agency: According to the newsletter, a charity organization named “Qais Arghandiwal” is currently repairing buildings for 68 boys and girls schools across the country. The head of this charitable institution, Mohammad Qais Arghandiwal, has stated that this initiative is aimed at providing education for male and female students in different provinces of the country. The process of repairing schools at his personal expense started on October 25 in Jawzjan, and with the construction of this school, education will be provided for many students in this province.
The foundation stone of a school building was laid at “Shaheed General Abdul Hakim Qahraman” high school in Jawzjan province yesterday. It is said that this building will have eight classrooms and will be built at a cost of two million Kabuli rupees (the current currency in Afghanistan). Its construction is scheduled to be completed in two months. It is important to note that due to several decades of war in the country, the lack of attention of the authorities in the school construction department, and the destruction of many of its buildings, a large number of students in different provinces of the country study under tents and in the open air.
However, it is worth mentioning that while this charity organization is reporting on the construction of school buildings in different provinces of the country, girls above the sixth grade have been banned from going to school for more than two years. As a result, the gates of the universities were also closed to them. In many provinces of the country, the Taliban group has converted school buildings into religious schools, where students are taught extremism lessons, according to the statements of a number of sources and officials.
In conclusion, the initiative taken by the “Qais Arghandiwal” charity organization to repair school buildings across the country is commendable. It is hoped that this initiative will help provide education to many students who are currently studying under tents and in the open air. However, it is important to address the issue of girls’ education in the country, which has been banned for more than two years. The conversion of school buildings into religious schools by the Taliban group is also a matter of concern, and steps should be taken to ensure that students are not taught extremist lessons.
