A foreign organization has facilitated a free educational center for nearly 500 girls in the northern province of Balkh.       

The center is teaching English language training, computer programs, mathematics and Dari literature for girls.  

They also teach preparation for university.  

“They are teaching English, computer programs, mathematics and Dari literature for nearly 500 girls,” said Abdul Sami Ariya, head of the provincial department of Information and Culture.  

This comes as the female students expressed happiness over the reopening of the center.

“I call on those families to allow their children to attend the schools and let them be educated,’ said Shikiba, a student.  

The center was also supported by the provincial department of education.  

“Everyone should try to bring happiness to the people and the nation, this nation needs to be appreciated and cooperated with,” said Mohammad Naeem Balkhi, head of the Balkh department of Education.
