Record Number Of Children Expected To Return To School

A U.N. official said Sunday that up to 4 million Afghan children are expected to return to classes when Afghanistan's new school year begins next month.  The number could be the largest ever.

The figure represents more than double the enrollment last March, when about 1.2 million students returned to classes for the first school year following the defeat of the Taliban.  UNICEF spokesman Edward Carwardine said Sunday that the state of disrepair of many schools is cause for concern -- 30 percent of Afghanistan's 7,000 schools have suffered heavy damage during more than 20 years of warfare, he said, and only half have clean water.  Fewer than half have sufficient sanitation.

"Efforts to increase the number of learning spaces in Afghanistan are underway ... for children expected to flood back to the classrooms when the new term begins in March," Carwardine said (Reuters/Karachi Business Recorder, Feb. 24).  UNICEF has launched an $8.4-million effort to rebuild and repair schools (UN Wire, Feb. 24).

Norden: You forgot to mention the hundreds of US Army Reserve Civil Affairs/Engineer troops in Afghanistan that are rebuilding schools, drilling water wells, and constructing roads. American military "Hearts & Mind" philosophy at work, and NOT imperialism.

It's all a trick. The US is secretly digging that UNOCOL pipeline through Bachulistan. I can hear their trained ferrets scratching away as we speak. Pardon, that's squirrels in the attic. Disregard.

For those nitwits that think this is only about oil, (somehow they forgot the role the Taliban played in the Sept. 11/01 attacks), well maybe they should internalize this article. They also seem to forget that over 30-nations have contributed to the democratic rebuilding of Afghanistan and paid for it in coin and blood. The next time one of the morons that try to equate the US, Canada, Britain, the Netherlands, and others with the Taliban, point out this article. link

You might want to make amends with Norden. His topic title, I'd suggest, was "tongue in cheek". The article is a favorable commentary on Afghani child education.
