Abdul Qayom Faroqi, head of the Paktika Department of Education, said 152 schools in the Afghanistan region lack buildings.
There are 410 schools in the province.
He called on international organizations to help with the construction of buildings for the schools.
“17 schools will be constructed through the financial support of Japan in Paktika. A team from the ministry came here and conducted the assessment. The costs will be nearly 180 million Afs,” he told Tolo News.
Students in the region said the lack of buildings disrupted their education.
They urged the authorities to construct the buildings.
“If our school is delayed one day due to rain, its effect is like the cost of one year for the country,” Rozi Mohammad, a student, told Tolo News.
