KHOST PROVINCE, Afghanistan – Educational opportunities are flourishing with new facilities provided by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to support an increasing number of students attending class in the Mandozai district.
Mohammad Sidiq Rohee High School’s attendance has increased by 300 to 400 students in the last year. The renewed emphasis on education prompted the school, which educates children 6 to 18 years old, to expand its halls of learning with a new building that contains eight classrooms and two offices. It has been under construction for four months and will assist in housing its new pupils.
Sayeed Noor Khan, a teacher at Mohammad Sidiq Rohee, attributes the school’s increased attendance and the support for its expansion to the government’s focus of education in the area.
“People realize education is very important,” he said.
Its importance is not lost on the students and faculty of the Sarban School either. With 11 new classrooms, the Sarban School is one of the many schools in the Mandozai district that are offering their community’s youth the opportunity of more room for learning.
Sidullah, a long-time student of the Sarban School, helped make the classroom additions a reality by aiding in the construction of the new building.
Students like Sidullah across Khost province are seeing other schools, including the Doornami School in Mandozai, expand with similar projects.
There are currently 11 major school expansion projects in Khost province supported by GIRoA.
Khost Provincial Reconstruction Team visit these projects built by the Afghan people, offering advice and help when necessary.
