3.8.3 Primary Education Primary education is compulsory and it is for a period of 6 years in mother language, which is Pershian and Pushto. Pershain in the first three session (1 - 3) and Pushto in the second three session (Classes 4 - 6). The pupils are also taught Arabic in order to read Quran since 99% population are Muslims and the main religion is Islam. Schools are not co-educational, separate schools for girls were established. Primary education takes place either in village schools or in primary schools. The village school (grade I through 3) usually has only one teacher for its three grades. This teacher is always the village religious leader and the village mosque serves as the school. In the primary school (Grades I through 6) there is one teacher for each of first three grades. In grades 4,5, and 6, there is a special teacher for each subject. Primary teachers in the major cities are usually graduates of the teacher training colleges (Grade 12). Outside the major cities, primary school teachers are most often graduates of the middle schools or the emergency teacher training colleges and a small percentage of primary school. The age of primary school pupils ranges from seven to 19 years. By 1966, there were 1,000 primary schools with 450,000 pupils in Afghan primary schools. The curriculum of primary schools in grades 1,2, and 3 includes: the Koran, theology reading of the mother tongue (either pushto or Dari), hand writing, arithmetic, natural science and hygiene, drawing and handicraft and physical education. The curriculum in grades 4, 5 and 6 also includes a second language (Dari or Persia) history and geography in addition to the subjects taught in the first three grades. Teaching in primary schools is based on memorization as well as rote learning. 3.8.4 Secondary Education Under secondary education, there is a unit called the middle school and another one called the Lycee. The middle school (grades 7, 8 & 9) prepares students for admission to the Lycee or for vocational training. The students who successfully pass primary school examination are qualified for admission into secondary schools which are either: vocational schools in Kabul which train youth or can also gain admission into Technical 84
school. The middle school teachers should have been trained in the Higher Teacher College at Kabul (grades 13 and 14). The Lycee is the equivalent of an American High School with grades 10,11 and 12. Its main purpose among others is to prepare students for the university education. By 1966, there are 150,000 in a few hundred secondary schools in Afghanistan. The curriculum for middle schools includes: The Koran, theology, Pushto, Dari, Arabic, Foreign language German, French, Algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics, biology, history, geography, economics, drawing and physical education. The main emphasis is on mathematics, science, history, geography and languages. Also, the curriculum for Lycee includes: the Koran, theology, pushto, Dari, foreign language, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, geometry, geography and logic. The main emphasis is on mathematics, natural sciences, social science and languages. Like in primary schools, teaching method is memorization and rote leaning. 3.8.5 Vocational Education in Afghanistan After completing education in the middle school, students who are interested and qualified may go to the vocational schools in Kabul which train youths in agriculture, commerce, theology, teaching, secretariat studies, Arts and Crafts. In the agricultural Lycee, students are specially trained to develop agricultural production for the country. Vocational training is also provided in mechanical and crafts schools, which begin after primary education and continues through grade 10. These schools train students for mechanical, technical and craft occupations. In the Islamic school, grade 10 through 12, students concentrate on Islamic religion. They are prepared to help in the interpretation of the law in the judicial department of the government, teach religion in the schools, serve as officials in the mosques or go on to further religious study at the University. In the same vein, the special schools for training teachers (grades 10 to 12) offer a three-year programme (two years of general studies and one year of professional studies).
