Girls looking through windows after class at Mandrawar Girls High School, Laghman Province, eastern Afghanistan.
Thirty years of chronic instability and conflict, and the almost complete lack of educational opportunities for children under the Taliban, have had a dramatic impact on childrenâs education and well-being in Afghanistan. There are now 2.4 million Afghan girls enrolled in school, compared to just 5,000 in 2001. While the numbers are encouraging, Afghan girls still face many barriers to receiving an education. The quality of education is highly variable, school conditions are often poor and nearly half a million girls who are enrolled do not regularly attend school. With support from Act for Peace, CWS â P/A aims to increase and strengthen girlsâ participation and their retention in education, and improve the quality of teaching and learning in primary schools in the Qarghayi district in Laghman province and Surkhrood district in Nangarhar province of Afghanistan.
Wasichana wakitazama kupitia madirisha baada ya darasa katika Shule ya Upili ya Wasichana ya Mandrawar, Mkoa wa Laghman, mashariki mwa Afghanistan. Miaka 30 ya ukosefu wa utulivu na migogoro, na ukosefu wa fursa za elimu kwa watoto chini ya utawala wa Taliban, imekuwa na athari kubwa kwa elimu na ustawi wa watoto nchini Afghanistan. Sasa, wasichana milioni 2.4 wa Afghanistan wamejiandikisha katika shule, ikilinganishwa na 5,000 tu katika mwaka wa 2001. Ingawa idadi hizo zinatia moyo, wasichana wa Afghanistan bado wanakabili vizuizi vingi vya kupata elimu. Ubora wa elimu ni tofauti sana, hali ya shule mara nyingi ni mbaya na karibu nusu milioni ya wasichana ambao wamejiandikisha hawaendi shule kwa ukawaida. Kwa msaada wa Act for Peace, CWS inakusudia kuongeza na kuimarisha ushiriki wa wasichana na uhifadhi wao katika elimu, na kuboresha ubora wa kufundisha na kujifunza katika shule za msingi katika wilaya ya Qarghayi katika mkoa wa Laghman na wilaya ya Surkhurud katika mkoa wa Nangarhar nchini Afghanistan.
