Local sources in Kunar province report that over 250 community-based classes run by the organization ‘OCCD’ have been closed down.
This closure has left hundreds of boys and girls in various districts without access to education.
The classes have reportedly been inactive since the beginning of the current calendar year, leaving 549 teachers unemployed.
The shutdown represents a significant setback for literacy efforts in remote areas of the province.
Educational restrictions continue to be a major concern for international bodies monitoring Afghanistan.
With these classrooms closed, the academic future of countless children remains uncertain .
