Government ministry tackles education problem by offering “open university” classes on television.
By Sayed Yaqub Ibrahimi (ARR No. 244, 9-Mar-07)
Farzana, 28, teaches in a girls’ school in Balkh province. She herself has only completed a 12-year school education since she was unable to go to university, as there are far fewer places than applicants. When she heard that she might be able to get a higher education via television, she was enthusiastic.
“My students can’t learn much from me because I’m not a professional teacher. If I can do study courses on television, my life will change completely,” she said.
The fall of the Taleban regime saw a boom in public education, and thousands of Afghan children returned to the classroom. Many are now leaving high school and looking for new opportunities.
