| Afghan children attend an open air school run by Abdul Nafe Aftab, an Afghan man, in Shir Surkh Baba village in Kandahar, Afghanistan, 20 August 2022. According to Aftab, the children were deprived of education due to the lack of schools in this area, which is why he took this action, as well as to eradicate illiteracy in the area. Aftab works during the day and teaches the village children at night. This rural education centre follows the country's educational curriculum. The children, who study there at night under the sky, while exposed to extreme heat, dust and wind, are asking for the construction of a school in their area and other facilities needed for an educational centre. The residents of the area consider this kind of effort useful for eradicating illiteracy, but they want the officials to support such efforts. EPA |
