The construction of a girls' school has started in the most remote village of Qaisar district in Faryab province.
The Faryab Department of Education said that the land for this school was donated by residents and that the school, costing $70,000, will be completed within the next six months by the international organization Save the Children.
Mohammad Tahir Jawad, the head of Faryab's Directorate of Education, said: "This village is one of the most remote villages in the Qaisar district, where neither the boys' nor the girls' schools had any buildings. Fortunately, today we witnessed the foundation laying off one of these schools, and we assure you that if people send their children to school, we will solve all their problems."
Residents said the construction of this school is beneficial in reducing the challenges faced by students.
According to them, in the past two decades, there has been no attention given to education in this village.
Faiz Mohammad, a resident of Qaisar district in Faryab, said: "There are about 300 students, but only two teachers. We need more teachers and support. As the number of teachers increases, so will the number of students."
Jamshid Azizi, another resident of this district, said: "For about 20 years, we have not had a school. There were almost 100 students and only two teachers, with no facilities; they were studying under the sun, with no proper arrangements for learning. Recently, the Islamic Emirate opened a school."
According to information from the Faryab Department of Education, there are currently 498 schools in the province, with about 305,000 students engaged in learning.
