Bamyan residents refer to reading books in the absence of schools and universities

Bayan News

Recently, a bookhouse entitled “kaj” has started operating in the capital of Bamiyan Province. The library is created right at a time when the ban on education has been imposed in Afghanistan.

The Islamic Emirate has blocked the gates of universities to female students and closed the school gates to female students for two years.

The main reason for the creation of this bookhouse is the terrorist attack on the kaj Training Center in Kabul, where dozens of students were attacked while studying, as well as several other institutions called “kaj” in Kabul to continue the lighting route by promoting reading books.

But the question is, when schools and universities have been banned from teaching for women and girls, what effect do activities have on learning science and knowledge in order to promote reading books?
Sana Nikbakht, head of The kaj House, tells Bayn News that her colleagues are trying to expand the level of science and knowledge among families by promoting a culture of reading books among the public.

Promoting a culture of reading among the people, he noted, helps raise awareness of citizens and families, and that every person in the country does their best to promote this issue.

According to Nikbakht, the bookhouse was created for the women and girls of Bamyan to promote more opportunities for reading and reading.

So far, 600 books with different titles have been collected and produced in the library, and residents of the province are visiting every day to read the book, Nikbakht said.

He also expressed concern that if the gates of universities and schools are not reopened to women and girls, there is a possibility that the bookhouse could be bankrupted because people would not be motivated to read books.
