=**Afghanistan School Systems By Sam Bevans**=

As 1.5 million students went back to school the school systems had to learn to educate with a lack of money and school supplies and on top of it a war going on outside their classrooms.

 * Lack Of Money**

Because of the lack of money in the school systems teachers have largely over packed class rooms with 58 and sometimes even more students. As well as over packed classes some of them arent even in a traditional classroom, in fact some are taken place in tents with over 58 students in them. This shows a serious lack of money in the country. In other classes the rooms are extremely poorly built that it is colder in side than it is out side. Also some students bring their own chairs to school because the schools can not provide chairs for the overpacked classes. On top of all of that some classes dont even have electricity, all of the above has become a part of a normal routine for students daily lives. On the more positive side the conditions may be rough, but that doesnt bother some of the few female students who are returning to school and are extremely happy to even be allowed back into school after the taliban baned them.

For example, because of the war classrooms have been left with no electricity or even in tents, and although things are clearing up they still arent completley clear in saftey measures. That doesnt stop all of the teachers though, some have been useing bullets as props for the class's curriculum. The image above shows what some of the conditions are like outside of the classrooms As if the situation for schools in afghanistan wasnt worse enough there is still war propaganda and war objects such as bullets and firearms are inside and outside of the classrooms. Outside is a hot desert like area with remains of the talibans rule on the area. There are bullets from shooting, guns and supplies, a wrecked area, and on top of that the fear that is still in the back of the peoples head. Inside of the classrooms are books that are from the mujahideen freedom fighters which are from the cold war. These books were used to school the children to fight and kill the soviets. Now that the schools are trying to re-build the teachers are trying hard to eleminate all of the war or war like remains to teach the kids and not make them trained killers.

 * War Inside And Outside Of The Classrooms**

Because of the talibans banishment of girls going to school or being educated in general if you were to go to a afgan class room you would mostly find boys in the classrooms opposed to co-ed classes like we have in the United States. On tops of mostly boys in the schools they are thin and lack food. Even though the days are long they tough it out anyway because they realize that they are fourtinate to go to schools unlike females who are lucky to go to school. media type="youtube" key="_0z2uZOaBmo " width="425" height="350"
