Hakimi, a female teacher for 17 years in Kabul
One of the reasons why teachers are dissatisfied is the closure of schools for girls, because we know that half of the society is made up of women. That is, 50% of people drop out of education, which slows down the progress of a country in any field.
I deplore that the Afghan society does not respect teachers. The teaching conditions would be much better if there was safety around education, and wages should be increased and paid regularly.
