Interview at A4T School: "Going to School", with some of the young women who are now getting the basic education they were denied earlier. This World Vision Report, by Will Everett, was aired in March, 2010.
The curriculum of the schools is approved by the Ministry of Education.
Our A4T school in Kabul is one of the best schools in Afghanistan in regards to the low student-teacher ratio and students attending all required academic classes plus vocational training and PE.
Teaching quality is very good, because teachers are hand selected by A4T professionals, and A4T members and our Country Director constantly review the schools to make sure everything is in order.
Teacher training seminars given by volunteers have also improved the quality of A4T teachers.
Our schools are provided with most basic supplies, however, a big problem is a lack of textbooks and need for more school supplies and computers.
Overall, A4T schools in Afghanistan have yielded very beneficial results, and have made an impact to help further the development of Afghanistan's educational system.
Other Education Dept. Accomplishments

Students, professors, and the Ministry of Higher Education appreciated A4T's effort toward the reconstruction of the country.
