Afghanistan: Lack of teachers leaves children’s future in uncertainty

The residents of Farah province in Afghanistan fear that nearly 70,000 children have their future lying in uncertainty due to a lack of teachers in the province.

Several tribal elders of the province demanded education for their children by calling on the Taliban as their atrocities have only added to the miseries of the Afghan people amid a looming economic and political crisis since the organization seized power last year.

Last year, the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, in a report, raised concerns over the security of children in Afghanistan saying that high levels of violence endured by children in Afghanistan are rising.
