New buildings for schools in Samangan and Kapisa

A total of seven new school buildings were opened today in the northern province of Samangan, according to a report from Pajhwok Afghan News (PAN). Three of the buildings are for primary schools and the other four are for middle schools – all located in the Dara-e-Sauf district. Each building has 8 classrooms and 6 administrative rooms, and they took 10 months to build. PAN quoted the district’s education manager, Aminullah Amin, as saying that previously, the “students had to study under tents and in mosques”. Funding for the construction projects were provided by the World Bank.

Also today, PAN reported that a new building for a girl’s school in the north eastern province of Kapisa was inaugurated. The new building which took 6 months to build, has 13 classrooms, one administrative room, a guard room, a cashier office and eight toilets. The project was funded by the Danish government at a cost of $220,000.
