Residents of Uruzgan province are urging the interim government officials to build schools in the area.

They say that due to the wars over the past two decades, an entire generation has been deprived of literacy and education.

According to the residents, Abbas Ali village, located 35 kilometers from Tarinkot city, is one of the areas where schools were destroyed over the past two decades, leaving the children of more than 1,000 families without access to education.

Amir Mohammad, a resident of Uruzgan, stated: "There isn't a single school or madrasa in the entire Abbas Ali area. Our children, now teenagers, have missed out on education, and the new generation is also being deprived of this right."

Another resident, Anar Gul, added: "If schools are built, the children will be occupied with learning and will acquire a lot of knowledge."

Abdul Wasi, also a resident of Uruzgan, said: "There isn't even one school in the entire district, and our children are wandering around without education."

Local officials stress that in addition to constructing schools in the center and districts of Uruzgan, they are also working to improve the education system.

Agha Wali Inam, the spokesperson for Uruzgan’s governor, said: "We are striving to establish healthcare and educational centers in this area and to provide the necessary facilities for the people."

Uruzgan is one of the southern provinces of the country where, according to officials, very few development projects have been implemented over the past two decades. Residents of remote areas in this province have limited access to basic life services.
