Snapshot (2008) of the Pre-School Project-Jan-July 2008

By Alison Hendry - Administrative, August 07, 2008 04:46 PM

In 2008, Creating Hope International’s project partner, the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL), has supported five pre-schools. AIL has model pre-schools in Peshawar, Pakistan (for Afghan refugees) and in Kabul, Afghanistan. For parents that can afford it, fees are charged in the model pre-schools. Poor students receive scholarships. AIL also supports pre-schools in one Women’s Learning Center in Kabul and two rural Women’s Learning Centers in Herat. 416 girls and boys attended the five pre-schools during the first six months of 2008.

In the Pre-School Education Program, the students are taught the following subjects:
•   Alphabet letters English and Dari
•   Dari
•   Math
•   Islamic issues
•   Drawing
•   Colors
•   Health
•   Sports
•   Music
•   Stories
•   Making projects
•   Introducing Names of Animals
•   Names of the countries

The mother of Sara, a pre-school student, said, “Before Sara came to this center, we put her in different pre-school programs and every day in the morning she was crying and she refused going to the school. But since she comes here she likes it and she has learned a lot. Now she is able to go to grade one and I as her mother thank AIL for providing this opportunity for the women and children".

In 2007, the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) has supported five pre-schools. AIL has a model pre-school in Peshawar, Pakistan for Afghan refugees and another model pre-school in Kabul, Afghanistan. For parents that can afford it, fees are charged in the model pre-schools. Poor students receive scholarships. AIL also supports pre-schools in one Women’s Learning Center in Kabul and two rural Women’s Learning Centers in Herat. 317 girls and boys attended the five pre-schools during the first six months of 2007.

Parents of the pre-schoolers are very happy with AIL’s program and report that when their children enter school, they perform far better than other children.
