New School Built in Ghazni’s Nawur District Without Taliban Support

A new school has been constructed in Nawur district of Ghazni province, funded entirely by local residents and without any reliance on Taliban resources. The school, named after ‘Shaheed Mohammad Hassan’, was built at a cost of over two million Afghanis.

According to published information, the facility includes eight classrooms, one administrative office, a library, and a clean drinking water system. It is designed to accommodate a total of 400 students.

The Taliban-run education department stated that the project is part of local community efforts to expand education in remote areas. However, critics argue that the Taliban’s inefficiency in managing the education sector has forced communities to take matters into their own hands.

Since the fall of the previous republic and the Taliban’s return to power, educational infrastructure in many regions has been neglected, with the burden of providing basic education increasingly falling on local residents. The widespread exclusion of children—particularly girls—from schooling is seen as one of the major consequences of the current regime’s rule.
