11.07.2010 ISAF Joint Command KABUL, Afghanistan – Educational opportunities have increased with new facilities provided by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to support an increasing number of students attending class in the Manduzai District.
Mohammad Sidiq Rohee High School’s attendance has increased by 300 to 400 students in the last year. The increase prompted the school, which educates children 6 to 18 years old, to expand its halls 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.
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.
There are currently 11 major school expansion projects in Khost province supported by GIRoA.
The Khost Provincial Reconstruction Team will visit these projects built by the Afghan people, offering advice and help when necessary.
