Education in Afghanistan

After the Soviet war and the civil war, many schools were destroyed.  Also, Taliban destroyed the entire  infrastructure of education. This is in fact a very difficult time for Afghanistan, because of the Taliban who make their rules in this country. The Taliban have conquered and governed many of the entire Afghanistan. Since the year of 2001, the situation gets better then when the Taliban were prohibited the right to a good education. Now, more than 5.4 million children are enrolled in schools in Afghanistan and about 35% are girls according to the Afghan Ministry of Education. It's already very good, but we still need to work hard to really make the school accessibility to everyone in this country. Much remains to be done for Afghanistan so she can get what modern countries today. Approximately 11 millions Afghans are illiterate. We must help this country, because education is an essential element in life. Whether for work, social life, etc, education should be obligatory for everyone. We have every right to education and this is even an obligation to age 16 years and it is fine like that. Unfortunately, Afghanistan's education is not the same as in Canada. It is not mandatory. Canadians must help children and women in Afghanistan. We must help each other we are all together.
