Unit 1: Afghanistan (Recap)

Well, what I learned about Afghanistan and its education was that during the Taliban, a few people over 15 knew how to read and write, but most of them were males, the Taliban only give education to boys, but they only teach the kids about religion, with the taliban 900,000 boys were educated, but as I said before just about religion, for more than 15 years the Taliban dindn't improve the Afthan education, but in 2002 the US army make a war against the Taliban, and a program named USAID together with the Ministry of Higher Education, build schools, for the children of afghanistan, in difference with the Taliban the USAID program prepared around 10,000 teachers, and more than 5,000,000 children attend school, also the program printed millions of text books for their schools. around 50-60 million of text books.
Now in Afghanistan, girsl can have education, and they are receving science classes, lnguage, mathematics, geographyt and other basics of education, but like the boys only receive religion classes during the Taliban, many of them are not in their apropitatel level in school, the USAID support around 50,000 students each year.
