It is essential that both the system and the people cooperate in the education sector.”Meanwhile, some residents of Ghazni state that these community contributions have played a significant role in meeting the basic needs of schools and providing hundreds of students with better educational facilities.
Emphasizing the importance of education, they call on relevant officials, aid organizations, and the public to provide improved educational opportunities for students.

Wherever there is no education, that region and country will be led to destruction. Therefore, our request to the people and the system is to work together to provide educational opportunities and meet the needs of students.”In addition to supporting education, residents of Ghazni have also personally funded the construction of bridges in some deprived areas of the province, with costs reaching hundreds of thousands of Afghanis.
