Primary Education is the foundation while Higher Education is very much important for development and progress of a nation like Afghanistan.
The anti-government elements are trying its best to create obstacles in front of education, but all Afghans, boy and girls should put all-out efforts in pursing education. Education is the only weapon that can steer Afghanistan toward progress.
Moreover, the local people must come up to the fore and stand against those elements that are hell-bent on destroying our education institutions.
