10 school buildings being reconstructed in Wardak

MAIDAN SHAHR (Pajhwok): Ten schools are being reconstructed at a cost of 22 million afghanis in four districts of central Maidan Wardak province, an official said on Sunday.

Walis Salehi, press officer at the Education Department, told Pajhwok Afghan News these schools were being reconstructed in Narkh, Chak, Syedabad and Daimirdad districts.

The reconstruction work is funded by UNICEF and the project is being implemented in cooperation with “Sada” domestic organization, he added.

According to him, some other schools are also being provided with drinking water and sanitation systems in the province.

He assured they would provide a safe and orderly learning environment for students in all schools and religious seminaries in the province.
