Afghan women refugee teachers receive training in Iran

KABUL (Pajhwok): Approximately 500 Afghan women refugee teachers in Iran will receive recognized training and certification, UNESCO said on Wednesday.

It said: “With the completion of its first phase in 2022, and upcoming phases in 2023, the programme has enabled approximately 500 Afghan women refugee teachers in Iran to receive recognized training and certification.”

The UN agency said that the goal was to support Afghan women with the skills and knowledge they need to deliver quality learning for the displaced Afghan children living in Iran and two ensure that their education continues until they could return to formal schooling.

Since launching in 2021, the UNESCO Afghan Teacher Training Programme has made significant progress in fostering a brighter future for displaced Afghan teachers and students.
