Kabul, Afghanistan. November 12th. Families of Afghans who were repatriated to eastern Nangarhar province are expressing worries over their children’s education, and have requested the government to provide their children with educational facilities.
One of the repatriates, Abdullah, was a resident of Peshawar City in Pakistan and his three boys attended local schools. He said upon returning to Afghanistan, his children’s schooling was not completed.
“The education system here is different from the education system in Pakistan, so we can’t decide what to do about the education of our children here. Our children endured many hardships to learn something there,” he said.
Another repatriation, Khyali Khan, just returned from the Punjab state of Pakistan, where he had been living as a refugee. Although his children are minors, he stated that they will be able to enroll in school next year.
“The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan government must provide their children with education facilities because they could not send their children to schools in Pakistan; it is a strange country, but here they are committed to educating their children,” he said in an interview.
Eid Mohammad, another repatriate originally from Ghazni province, said that he resided in Islamabad. He said that he sent his kids to religious schools because of his poverty. He requested the government give their kids access to facilities for both scientific and religious instruction.
More than 80% of Afghans sent to transit centers possess some form of identification, raising challenges for authorities in the repatriation process. Most of these individuals are not willing to return voluntarily, leaving officials with limited options. There is currently no mechanism in place to efficiently verify their identification documents, including Afghan Citizenship Cards, Proof of Registration cards, and even computerised national identity cards.
Additionally, many Afghans who arrived in Pakistan after the Taliban takeover in August 2021 had been encouraged to apply for resettlement programs in various countries, including the US, UK, Canada, and Germany, but have been left in a state of limbo with expired Pakistani visas and lengthy resettlement processes. This has made them vulnerable to detention and deportation.
It is imperative that the government provide educational facilities to these individuals, so that their children can grow up in a supportive learning environment and have a chance to succeed. CSBC Bihar Police Constable Exam 2023 Revised Schedule Soon at csbc.bih.nic.in
