Female education according to ministry of education
According to the Ministry of Education official who spoke to Human Rights Watch back in April 2017, there were 9.3 million children in school, with girls accounting for 39% of the total. The government’s practice of counting a child as attending school until she or he has not attended for up to three years inflates all of these figures.
Curled up demographics
In Afghanistan, statistics on the number of children in & out of schools vary widely and are subject to debate. Statistics of any kind, even basic demographic data are frequently difficult to collect and of dubious authenticity.The minister of education back in December 2016 announced that the actual number of children enrolled in school was 6 million.
According to a World Bank study, only 37% of adolescent girls in Afghanistan are literate, compared to 66% of adolescent boys. Women have a literacy rate of 19%, whereas men have a literacy rate of 49%.
even more demographics
Even the most optimistic data show that the percentage of Afghan girls in education has never risen much above 50%.Despite all the obstacles,women made significant progress.Despite the fact that Afghanistan’s education system discriminated against women by providing fewer schools for girls and failing to take necessary efforts to close the gender gap in educational participation. This shows how keen the female population of Afghanistan are to learn and how essential it is to find paths that ensure the literacy rates go higher.
Moreover, digital literacy is becoming a worldwide phenomena. The Internet has come to be viewed as a tool that allows learners to overcome barriers and gain access to and obtain education. Proposals to use Internet technology to help tackle issues like equity and social justice, as well as providing equitable educational opportunities for all, have recently gained traction. There is a need to promote the use of modern technologies in a developing nation such as Afghanistan to lower the cost of access and education for the millions of children and adults who have never had the opportunity to learn.
Using internet to solve girls education
Contemporary technologies, especially the Internet, seem to offer possibilities for overcoming geographical problems and for bearing the costs of education. It is currently being imagined that this technology may have a positive impact on the education of students who have only minimal sources of livelihood and very poor educational infrastructure with a politically unstable environment. One of our organizations focus is to explore and apply innovative ways such as the open and distance education in Afghanistan as well as focusing on educating girls on the use of modern technology in efforts to bridge the educational gap. Finding innovative ways to ensure education for all is essential for overcoming the challenges caused by poverty, lack of social and educational infrastructure, and some cultural issues that hinder the progress of education in Afghanistan.
