UNICEF opens 150 community classrooms in Samangan for thousands of children

| 2023-07-05

First of all, we should thank UNICEF for creating this kind of school classes for girls and boys in every province and area of Afghanistan. There is a lot of good news in four districts of Samangan Province, which have established the classes of girls' schools. As an Afghan, I am happy with the work of the UNICEF, and I praise it. Education has become so important in today's world that a person cannot do anything without education. If education is made public and forced in our country, what calamities have come to our country today, these calamities can be eradicated with the power of education. Education is very necessary, and people should be told that without education, we are nothing and our country is lagging behind in terms of development. Today, when you see developed countries in the world, it is from the blessing of education. Today that you and I have phones and we use the Internet, and see something else, it is because of the blessing of education that the world has received. We request the current government to open girls' schools and universities, and turn the darkness of the country to light. The gates of girls' schools are closed, this is also a conspiracy of the enemies of our country. People should fight in this area, and try to open girls' schools and universities. High-ranking officials of the current government understand how important education is! And how necessary it is for the country. At the same time, we need doctors, engineers, economists and other

Education is the only way for this nation to eliminate problems and difficulties. If every citizen in this country is given the right to get an education and his table is filled with food, I am sure he will eliminate many problems. For several decades, most of the country's children and young people have been deprived of the right to education. No one can forget the imaginary schools of the previous government. In the country's remote areas, there would be no schools, but salaries would be paid as usual. It is to be noted that all money that came in the name of the school and teacher fell into the hands of the thieves. There were no schools in the rural areas, but there would be a school in the cities. City schools were something that was not counted very much on. If you wanted to educate your children, it was inevitable that you would either send them to these courses or hire a private teacher. My issue is not in the teacher's low capacity but in the teacher's low salary. During the Republican period, the teacher's salary was AFN 8,000, but on the contrary, the monthly income of a warlord reached AFN million. It's just a wonderful country. Whoever has the idea of building this country and nation, he will suffer.

In my opinion, this issue should have been clarified with the Taliban in the Doha negotiations which unfortunately were only conducted between the Taliban and the United States. Why should girls' education be stopped or why should boys' schools be closed? This is basically a crime. The program carried out by UNICEF for a short period of time is of little use. Schools for both boys and girls should remain open as usual. This is the 21st century. At this time, in no country in the world, students are stopped from going to schools. If this situation continues, it is possible that after ten years, Afghanistan will turn into a graveyard because schools will be destroyed, if schools and universities are destroyed, scientific cadres will not be trained. Then what would the mullahs and graduates of religious schools do?

The final message: every Afghan father and mother should promise to themselves and their God today that they want their daughters to have the same right to education as their sons. They continue their legitimate, peaceful, and civil demands from the government and the international community and enroll their daughters at schools if educational services are available and accessible. To lay the foundation for a prosperous future, learn the art of living well, and make the next generation a competitor.

Special attention should be given to the security of girls' schools. The international community should not associate girls' education with political issues and should provide honest support. It should invest in and provide programmatic support in training female teachers. It has budgeted and financed the construction of schools for girls. Online and distance education should help civil society and non-governmental organizations in the short term, but this is not a fundamental solution. For a long-term solution, there should be constructive interaction with the current authorities to develop a basic solution. 4. special attention to the schools of the previously insecure areas in those areas where girls' schools from the first grade were closed due to insecurity; at least schools and classrooms should be invented and activated, and students from the sixth grade above attention should be paid to it like the whole country. 5. other major existing problems: in addition to the major problem of closing schools for girls' education, Afghanistan's education system has some serious problems. We want the nation, the current administration, and international donors to join hands in these areas and find solutions. Shortage of female teachers, lack of schools in remote areas, lack of established school buildings, lack or absence of water and sanitation facilities in schools, increasing distance between schools, low quality of teaching and teachers, low academic level, inequity in the dis

If the government system needs economic and technical assistance, they should share the issue with their fellow citizens and seek help from the international community. Instead of linking girls' education to cultural problems, efforts should be made to inform the public and make them friends. Tribal and religious leaders will work together to educate the public about the importance of education. Even now, girls' schools and classes are separate, so there is no reason why girls' schools should not function. If you look at the important views of the world's religious scholars, the overwhelming majority strongly favor girls' education. In the future, the opinions of scholars should be taken into account in making policies that are easy for people to accept and are in line with our national and Islamic values. Consider the following points in the religious rituals and cultural realities: Girls should be provided with the best and safest schools and classrooms. The problem of long distances should be solved, and schools should be brought to homes and villages. The privacy of girls' schools should be kept in mind. Cultural-Afghan clothing should be considered valuable, and the imposition of other cultures should be prevented. Female teachers can teach girls if female teachers are not created; elderly, mature, and pious male teachers should be appointed in girls' schools. The system of separate schools for girls and boys should continue in higher grades. Education programs for girls

Is it a tactic to prepare oneself for intellectual and practical confrontation against another rival group (ISIS)? It is said that some fighters of the current administration consider signs of civilization and urbanization as un-Islamic, and if the administration allows girls' schools (which do not have a Shariah problem), these uninformed young fighters will join the other group. The reason for this is unlikely but should be investigated. Is girls' education stopped due to some external pressure or personal understanding? This is also a question, but what is the logic behind it? Maybe some countries don't want a civilized image of the current administration to be presented to the world, or some selfish circles wish to be introduced against the development and civilization of the blessed religion of Islam in the guise of friendship. Suppose it is a secret promise and a selfish plot in the image of friendship. In that case, it will be tough to solve because it is first, difficult or even impossible to prove this argument, and second, political groups do not share any documents about secret promises. So it will not be easy for common people to confront it. Fourth: Suggestions: if the religious interpretation of the ruling group is the same, they should tell the nation and then have a debate and scientific discussion with the International Islamic scholars and reach a conclusion because Islam is the only religion in which the primary source of guidance (the Holy Quran) exists i

This is the reason for stopping girls' education, higher education, and women's work, so solving this fundamental problem is also difficult for the common people. On the other hand, the rulers should not seek authority over the basic rights of their people. Still, if this argument is true, politicians and international educational, civil, and human rights institutions and countries can help and resolve a political settlement in exchange for conditional mutual privileges. Civil society organizations and individuals can advocate, mobilize, support, spread awareness, organize, and share messages. Is the education of girls the last priority from the point of view of the current administration due to the lack of economic resources and resources? If the delay in girls' education is due to financial problems, the current administration should say it openly. Second, it should seek help from the world, and in the third step, it should ask the nation for patience and courage. Of course, if resources are limited, they should be divided equally among the boys and girls. Do cultural problems hinder girls' education? And is it a thinking war between the villagers and the city residents? Culture is not a fixed element; like other social phenomena, it always changes as time passes. On the other hand, one of the characteristics of Islam is that it corrects bad practices. When a person's right is destroyed, fixing a far-fetched and bad custom is a great reward. In the past 20 years, under the c

Equipping girls with life skills, reduction of homelessness and poverty in households and communities, strengthening political and national stability, and continuous development, educating girls is not only a human right but also a religious obligation and the most important way to have a positive impact on future generations, communities, and humanity. Fourth: Why is the current administration against girls' education? The fact that the current administration does not share the real reason for the delay and not starting this process with the nation makes it difficult to judge. Still, it is believed that any intellectual opposition between a graduate of religious and modern schools started with King Amanullah Khan and continues till now. During the presidency of Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan, the revolt of the Mullahs in Kandahar against the relative freedom of girls and boys is another example. Even during the Mullahs' reign in the 1990s, classrooms above six were not opened for girls, and the current government is following the same path. The Chief Justice is one of the most important people in determining the intellectual direction of the current administration. He wrote a book that did not consider girls' education good after a specific level. So, the question arises: is the religious interpretation of all the clerics of the ruling group the same as the interpretation of the current head of the Supreme Court? Suppose it is assumed that the opinion of some or all leaders is the

A nation's health status is directly related to mothers' education. Among educated mothers, the mortality rate during childbirth is very low. Even with the provision of more equipped health centers and more trained health workers, it is seen that maternal health improves and mortality rates decrease in areas where girls and women are literate. The effect of educated mothers on the child's health and education is also the same. Numerous studies have shown that many diseases, including AIDS, are much less common among literate women than illiterate women. Girls' knowledge and education increase the decision-making capacity of future mothers and lead to the raising of succeeding generations. Educating girls is the best and most effective way to correct wrong practices. If women own education, work, profit, decision-making, and high social status, no one can give them bad deeds or accept other wrongs contrary to Shari'ah customs. Similarly, deception and betrayal cannot be easily dealt with. Studies have shown that moral integrity is also more in those girls who have studied. In short, education and knowledge lead every human (boy and girl) to the highest success and happiness. Third: Other benefits of girls' education: The health and well-being of the family and community, including girls and women. Due to Economic well-being, zakat, sadaqah, and sacrifices provide the means to earn good deeds and rewards. Reduction of child girl marriages and consequently their healthy growth a

Does anyone want his daughter to be blind and his son to be sighted? In Islam, all human beings have equal dignity, were not born from Adam and Eve, and no one has superiority over others for any reason; only piety has been considered the reason for goodness. If there is a second factor for privilege, it is knowledge because the blind and the sighted are unequal. Second, the practical situation in the Islamic and non-Islamic worlds: all nations and states have been attracted to these values and have started to act quickly in this direction. In all 57 member countries of the Islamic Cooperation, the education of girls and boys is given some importance, and the conditions are provided for it. Learning is considered a great human right in the International Declaration of Human Rights and many other documents. The Beijing Platform of 1995 decided that knowledge is a human right and that only with its help can we reach the highest goals of equality, development, peace, and prosperity. Most of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals' achievement depends on girls' education. Education ensures a bright future for girls and their families. Research by the World Bank has shown that if a parent becomes literate, a generation becomes smarter, but if the mother becomes literate, her five generations will be lucky. With the power of knowledge and information, people's vision expands, and they know more about the concept and ways of happiness than those who do not know; it causes so

The importance of girls' education and solutions to the current problems: I would like to share this article in several comments. First: the importance of knowledge and education from the point of view of Islam: the first verse of the Holy Quran begins with the word Iqra (Read!), which shows the importance of knowledge, writing, and reading. This message is for women and everyone else. The reason for the elevation of Adam above the angels was his knowledge of the names of all things, and that is why the angels were ordered to prostrate to him. The value of knowledge has been described in Islam in such clear and powerful messages that no one has ever seen or heard the best. More than 800 times in the Holy Quran, words related to knowledge and education have been mentioned. No mention of knowledge in any religious text is restricted to girls or boys. Let's look at the meanings of the following verses as an example: Are the wise and the unwise equal? The learned are seeing, and the ignorant are blind. The most feared servants of Allah are the scholar servants of Allah. If we pay attention to the concepts of the hadiths of the Prophet (PBUH), they are very clear about girls' rights and education: knowledge is lost to the believer, and wherever he finds it, it is his. Get understanding, even if it is in China. Learning knowledge is obligatory for men and women. According to the hadiths, we should rejoice at the birth of a son, but we should rejoice twice at the birth of a daughter

In the villages of Afghanistan, the level of education is very low, and the children were deprived of education because of the war. Now, with the help of UNICEF, 115 classes are being prepared in Samangan province for educating thousands of children who would take part in the future of their country, and have a bright future.
