Future of Technology in Afghanistan
By Shehab Yacoobi | Project Manager
The Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) is empowering young women and children by providing access to computer coding education during a time when schools remain closed due to ongoing turmoil. Through its innovative Meraj TV broadcasting system, AIL delivers online learning opportunities, ensuring that students can continue developing essential digital skills from their homes. By integrating technology and education, AIL is helping Afghan youth build a brighter future, equipping them with the knowledge needed to navigate an increasingly digital world despite the challenges they face. If it wasn't from the supporters of AIL, we wouldn't have survived the struggles that these people are facing right now.
It's with your support that Afghan Institute of Learning can do this!

Meraj Academy Begins Computer Science Program
By Shehab Yacoobi | Project Leader
The Afghan Institute of Learning seeks to empower the lives of women and children in Afghanistan, however there as been major setbacks of new restrictions that were signed by the newly form government that now resides in the country. One of the many new restrictions was the implication of not allowing girls go to school from grade seven up to university, which has cause many setbacks for AIL, however we have always overcome obstacles that fall in our path, such as Meraj Academy.
Meraj Academy has given thousands of women and children the ability to learn and follow their education on live television, which has given many women the advantage of staying at home and learning new skills and subjects just from the broadcasting station in Herat, Afghanistan.
One of the new subjects that will recently start is computer programming, as it will teach young individuals the importance of technology and coding, as technology gets more advance, Afghanistan as a country must be informed of all the things happening in the world as such.

Youth developing computing skills
By Elizabeth A Appleyard | Program Administrator

Computing is a vital modern skill and AIL’s computer classes are always oversubscribed. There has been an increase in computing students to 257 in Kabul and Herat. All of the Herat students are female. The AIL Youth Club which has 100 members (50 female) offers classes in computing and education around the subject of computers and the internet.
The Yacoobi private schools prioritise computing skills in all grades as this skill is vital to modern day living. Students learn about software applications such as word, excel, publisher and learn how to type at speed.
Students of Meraj Academy use computing skills to aid in their studies and can communicate with their teachers virtually. Meraj Academy provides grades 7-12 lessons via TV and Youtube with interaction with students through social media.
Computing skills lead to jobs and graduates of AIL classes are often able to find work without difficulty.
Thank you for your support.
