Afghanistan: Five Paktika districts witnessed no schools graduates in past 20 years
Kabul: Afghanistan tribal leaders said there have been no high school graduates in the past 20 years in five districts of the southeastern province of Paktika.
The tribal leaders said lack of high schools and the poor education system are the reasons behind thousands of youth being deprived of education.
According to the students of these districts, the families who are in a good economic condition send their children to the provincial capital city, Sharana, to continue their schools but those families struggling with severe economic conditions are unable to send their children to the capital for continuing education, reports Tolo News.
“No school has been constructed in our district. Our youth migrated to other countries,” Zahid, a student in Barmal district, told Tolo News.
“There was no school in Khoshamand district during the former government's time. The Islamic Emirate should construct us a school,’ Mohammad Daud, a student in Khoshamand district, told the news portal.
The tribals asked the Taliban government to construct schools in the region.
