Afghan school children to get Japanese aid
United Nations - Tens of thousands of school children in Afghanistan are set to benefit from a USD 24 million donation from Japan under an agreement signed with the UNICEF to construct around 1,000 classrooms.
The new classrooms built on the back of the multi-million dollar fund will allow some 80,000 children to attend classes, helping meet the objectives of the Five-year National Education Strategic Plan -- which include the creation of safe learning environments, especially for girls, improving the quality of education and developing a healthy relationship between schools and their communities.
