Projects

  • OLPC: Accelerated Economic Growth in Afghanistan
    It is well established that Education is one of the most important aspects of human development and a key contributor to stability. In Afghanistan however, although relatively rapid progress has been made in the education sector, just over half (52%) of primary school aged children are enrolled in school.

  • Islamic Republic of Afghanistan: Ministry of Education
    It is the strong belief of our country's top leadership that a revitalized education system that is guided by the tenets of Islam is at the core of the State Building exercise. Therefore, one of the top priorities of government is to rebuild an education system that will act as a fundamental cornerstone in shaping the future of the country through peace and stability, democracy and good governance, poverty reduction and economic growth.

  • Radio Education for Afghan Children (REACH)
    To reach children in Afghanistan who have been deprived of normal schooling by almost 20 years of warfare and Taliban restrictions, the BBC World service launched this radio series in July, 2001. These radio programmes are not a replacement for school, as they do not teach, but rather get children to learn by themselves, by awakening their curiosity and helping them question the world.

  • Examples of ICT use in Non-Formal Education: New Home, New Life, Afghanistan
    An offshoot of the BBC World Service, BBC Afghan Education Projects (BBC-AEP), launched the educational radio soap opera “New Home, New Life” (NHNL) in the spring of 1994 in Afghanistan's two main languages: Dari and Pashto. Run for years from Peshawar, the overthrow of the Taliban regime made it possible for the programme to be repatriated to Kabul in October 2002
