This school is 9 kilometer far away from the city, it is located near the village Isaq Sulaiman. It was established in 1983 while the educational system was not good. They have started school with four classes and 200 students. In the early time it was located in a small piece of garden which was gifted by people around there. Right now they have around 2250 female students and 45 teachers with 45 classes.

 

It has two main buildings one is the old one and the other is just a new one which was established by a Japanese platform called Nicco in 2011. There are two main shifts in this school, morning shift for female students and evening for male.

The principle and teachers are so happy to have the new building which provide for them more spaces to teach students in a better way.

 

During these years, the main problem which they have faced in the school was not having enough class room for students, also chairs and tables are so old and damaged most of the time in some classes students have to sit on the ground. One of the challenges that all the Afghanistan schools deal with is not having a proper educational system concept.

Students have to study all the subjects during these 12 years, while in most countries after the 9th class students will be classified into different categories like science, literature and etc to follow their own interest, following the same old educational system in schools make it difficult to have the desired outcome.

 

Teachers and students of this school believe that by building Internet classroom for them they will be aware of what is going on around the world and they will connect to people around the world and enter into the global village. They believe that afghan girl students have a bright future and will have a great participation in social activities, for them using social media in daily life has many advantages while by sharing ideas, getting more experiences, connecting with many people around the world they will let others know what is happening in Afghanistan.

One of the students was so impressed by having Internet classroom in her school, she said: “That's a great work, after that we can find more materials about our subjects through Internet and find many resources to update ourselves and for those who do not have computer and Internet at home it will be a valuable gift”
