Children at Bawor Khan Primary School in Hazar Nawi village, Momand district of Nangarhar province, are reportedly attending classes under the open sky because of inadequate school facilities.
Local residents say the school’s students are facing difficult conditions and have no proper classrooms where they can continue their education. As a result, children are reportedly forced to sit outdoors during lessons.
Residents have raised concerns about what they describe as unequal treatment regarding schools and educational facilities in the area. They say the lack of suitable infrastructure is creating additional challenges for students and teachers.
Studying outdoors can expose children to harsh weather conditions, including heat, rain and cold, potentially making it difficult for them to attend classes regularly and maintain a suitable learning environment.
The situation highlights the broader infrastructure challenges facing education in some parts of Afghanistan, particularly in rural communities where schools may lack adequate buildings and basic facilities.
Local residents are calling for appropriate classrooms and necessary educational infrastructure to be provided so children can continue their studies in a safe and suitable environment.
The claims about the school’s condition were provided by local residents, and further independent verification was not available.
