The Deputy Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs Mohammad Ali Jan Ahmad stated at an event in Kabul that Western countries, during their 20-year presence in Afghanistan, made every effort to weaken Islamic culture.

Mohammad Ali Jan Ahmad also said that in the past there was a significant gap between universities and religious schools; however, this gap has now been eliminated.

He emphasized the expansion and further development of educational services in the country, adding that the Islamic Emirate is committed to providing a suitable environment for modern education for youth.

The Deputy Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs said: “The Islamic Emirate is committed to ensuring that those children who remain loyal to Afghanistan and religion will be given opportunities to serve. I assure you of this.”

Mohammad Ali Jan Ahmad further stated that the era of coercion and promoting ethnic and regional issues in the country has come to an end.

The Deputy Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs said: “This is the shared home of all Afghans. Today, there is no division, tribalism, or coercion. We dedicate our lives to the principles of the Islamic Emirate and religion.”

Abdul Basit Haqqani, head of the education department of Kabul, also stated during the event that the Ministry of Education is working to provide better opportunities for education.

The Head of Education department of Kabul added: “The Ministry of Education, the Islamic Emirate, and the Ministry of Borders, along with all their officials and leadership, are striving to provide educational opportunities for citizens.”

“A student's demand is that job opportunities should be provided. This must be made available to us,” said Yousuf, a student.

These remarks were made during an event celebrating the graduation of 650 students from Khushhal Khan, Pir Mohammad Kakar, and Rahman Baba schools, as well as an institute affiliated with this ministry.
