Description:
Eight-year-old Mustafa, wearing his hooded coat to keep warm, sits holding his rucksack in a class of boy students in Dasht-e-Barchi Education Centre #1 in Kabul, the capital. One of 11 children whose father is unemployed, Mustafa is the only child in his family attending school. Although he lives almost 2 km away, he has not missed a day of school the entire year. The school, serving 800 students who are taught in 3 shifts by 15 teachers, lacks window panes, heat, furniture, carpets and lights. The teachers are not paid and many have no professional training. With separate classrooms for girls and boys, the school is 1 of 95 run by the local NGO Sorvach and assisted by UNICEF, which provides textbooks, chalkboards and other basic classroom supplies.
