400 child laborers have rejoined the country’s educational system after completing a six-month training program at the Support Center of the Labor and Social Affairs Department.
The initiative, supported by the ACTED institute and in collaboration with the Education Department, aims to provide educational opportunities for children who have been deprived of schooling due to economic hardships.
Qari Nasratullah Parsa, the Director of Labor and Social Affairs in Baghlan, announced this achievement to the Bakhtar News Agency. He emphasized the program’s dual focus on academic education and practical support, which included daily afternoon snacks and financial assistance to encourage continued attendance.
The cooperation between the ACTED institute and the Baghlan Education Department has been instrumental in supporting these vulnerable children, Parsa stated. He called for sustained and expanded partnerships between government and non-government organizations to further enhance educational access for child laborers in the province.
