Another school was opened today in the Sherberghan District in Northern Afghanistan. We assembled at the Ministry of Education office with full security and medial people. This area is considered a little bit less secure because it is rural and no one knows if there is Taliban presence in this area. We have been there several times with full support from All went very smoothly.
Media were well represented. People need to know that we value education for the future said one of the journalists.
