MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): The Ministry of Education’s population is illiterate. Around 1500 illiterate persons graduated from a one-year literacy course in northern Balkh province on Tuesday.
Literacy program deputy chief at the Ministry of Education, Sardar Mohammad Rahimi, told the graduation ceremony in Mazar-i-Sharif, Balkh’s capital, that the government’s efforts during the past 17 years at promoting vocational and literacy education had been insufficient.
During the past one and a half decades, he said, literacy rate increased in Afghanistan by . . .
