All first to third school students in Afghanistan will receive education at mosques, the country’s Education Ministry said on Saturday.
The ministry in a statement said that it has incorporated mosques in its educational ecosystem, based on which 1-3 grade students will get education in their nearby mosques.
“In the first three years of education, going to mosque will create and promote a strong Islamic identity among the students and it will highlight the centrality of Islam for our students,” the statement said.
The ministry said that it would be a major change which would require a rational plan and gradual implementation.
