Investments in Public Education

Afghanistan has come a long way in improving the number of schools operating, teachers hired and children enrolled; however, the quality of the education sector remains poor and much more needs to be done to support children to succeed through school. Our Investments in Public Education Program helps to improve the quality of education by training in-service teachers and expanding their access to educator resources, equipping schools with modest Science Lab Starter Kits and School Library Starter Kits and training teachers how to make the most of these tools. Within this program, we also support the budgets of a number of specific schools in under-served districts, covering teachers’ salaries and other operational costs.
