PUL-E-KHUMRI (Pajhwok): Nine new mobile classroom tents were handed over to the Department of Higher Education in northern Baghlan province on Monday by the German government.
A statement by the German Cooperation with Afghanistan said the tent facilities would be used by the University of Baghlan.
The handover ceremony was attended by Amanuddin Ziai, chancellor, deputy chancellor Daud Mohtajyar, RCDF Baghlan team leader Marcus Zwenke and RCDF Baghlan program manager Dr. Shoaib Shifa, representatives of the provincial government as well as Afghan-German Cooperation representatives.
The mobile classrooms will allow an additional 900 university students to attend their courses in higher education at the university. With the nine tents, the students will be able to study in three shifts. The mobile classrooms will therefore help the Higher Education Department increase study opportunities for students, the statement added.
The Provincial Development Committee (PDC) made the decision to launch and prioritise the equipment project. Technical support comes from the Regional Capacity Development Fund (RCDF) in Baghlan, with financing from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
