Paktya Governor Juma Khan Hamdard

[UNAMA Report] — Some 100 school buildings have been constructed in Paktya province over the past two years, with 70 more to be completed this year.

This progress in the education sector in the south-eastern province was revealed by Paktya Governor Juma Khan Hamdard, at the opening ceremony for a middle school building in the Shakar Khel area of Gardez, where he urged parents to ensure education for their children.

“The parents have responsibility to send their children to school, and building schools is mine and (that of) the Government of Afghanistan,” the Governor said.

With only 70 schools throughout the province in 2001, Paktya now has 259 government and six private high schools, and one madrassa (religious school) in each district of the province, according to Director of Education Mihrabuddin Shafaq who said this “means 65 per cent development has occurred in the education sector.”В  Click here to read more.
