In the remote Ajristan district of Afghanistan's Ghazni province, thousands of students are forced to study in makeshift tents or open areas due to the lack of buildings for schools. According to TOLO News, there are 13 schools in Ajristan, but none of them have proper infrastructure or facilities. The Head of the district department of education, Mohammad Hanif Hanafi, expressed the dire situation, stating that the students are living in inadequate tents, which are also not sufficient to accommodate all of them. This lack of proper school buildings is causing significant hardships for the students, particularly during the rainy season.

During an interview with TOLO News, the principal of Sultan Mohammad Khan High School, Abdul Jalil Jalal, highlighted the additional challenges faced by the students. He stated that there is a shortage of notebooks, books, and other essential materials needed for effective learning. With nearly 600 students in his high school alone, their education is being severely compromised. Abdulhudod, an instructor at one of the schools, shed light on the difficulties faced by the students during the rainy month of Hamal (March 22 to April 22). Due to the absence of a proper school building, they are forced to change locations frequently, interrupting their studies. Frustration is palpable among the students, as they call on the government to address these pressing issues.

Shamsullah, a student, emphasized the need for the government to construct proper school buildings and provide them with the necessary educational materials. Another student, Arafatullah, highlighted the challenges they face during the rainy season when they cannot attend school due to the lack of a suitable compound. In response, Afghanistan's Taliban-appointed provincial governor, Hafiz Mohammad Amin Omari, affirmed that efforts are underway to address the challenges faced by students in Ajristan. He acknowledged the existing obstacles and stated that they have communicated these issues to the education department.

According to figures from the Ajristan Department of Education, there are at least 13 schools, 60 local classes, one major seminary, and 12 local seminaries in the district. Approximately 7,000 students, including boys and girls, are studying in these education centers. The absence of proper school buildings, inadequate facilities, and a shortage of essential materials are hindering their education and impacting their future prospects. The plea for action from the government is a desperate call for the construction of proper school buildings, provision of books and notebooks, and the resolution of all other challenges faced by the students in Ajristan. Their education is at stake, and it is crucial for the authorities to prioritize their needs and ensure that every child has access to quality education in a conducive learning environment.
