Dozens of detainees from the Kabul Children’s Correction and Education Center, part of the Prisons Affairs Reform Agency, celebrated their graduation from educational and training courses during a series of ceremonies.
These detainees were given the opportunity to study the life of the Prophet, memorize and read the Quran, and receive technical and vocational education, thanks to the support of the Ministry of Information and Culture’s Bayhaqi Quran and Book Publishing Directorate, along with two partner organizations.
Mawlavi Sharafatullah Haqqani, head of the Kabul Children’s Correction and Education Center, reported that over the past three years, 25 detainees have graduated from Quran memorization, while 68 others have completed reading courses. Additionally, 450 detainees received training in various vocational skills, including tailoring, plumbing, shoemaking, electricity, and mobile phone repair.
During the ceremony, it was announced that five detainees graduated from the Holy Quran memorization course, 30 from the Nazira course, and 130 from technical and vocational training. Furthermore, five outstanding participants in the Prophet’s Character Competition were awarded gifts and certificates of appreciation.
Mawlavi Muhajer Farahi, Deputy Minister of Information and Culture for Publication Affairs, emphasized the importance of educating the children of detainees in ways that benefit both their families and society, while also securing a brighter future for them. He reiterated that officials must be accountable to their communities and strive to effectively address their needs.
This program is part of ongoing efforts by the Prisons Reform Agency to support detainees through educational initiatives, in collaboration with relevant agencies and partner organizations.
