Afghan Women Virtual Learning
By Shehab Yacoobi | Program Administrative
The future of women recieving an education in Afghanistan is an enigma, as the new governemnt prohibits girls above grade seven to University from going to school in person, which as an organization that has been fighting for women to recieve an education, becomes a huge setback for us and the female population in Afghanistan.
Fortunate for us, our amazing staff at AIL came up with a solution for this problem, the solution was to create an online course that allows women and young girls learn virtual from home instead of coming in person, which was safer for them and more efficient for us as an organization. It kept track of how many would show up virtually online and how many were doing their work and learning along the way.
Our AIL youth club has been virtually online for the women in university, they recieve the same education and all the formats as you would in person just virtually, and they gradute with a degree that can be used in the real world that can help their familes and themselves, by building a better future not just for them, but by building a better future for the entire nation.

Update on literacy classes
By Elizabeth A Appleyard | Program Administrator

In January, there were 545 students taking literacy classes at learning centers. AIL’s online education program continues to expand. Meraj Academy is the educational program broadcast on TV Meraj. This program gives access to a comprehensive 7-12th grade education via TV programs and is aimed at all students, but especially girls who are unable to attend school. Teachers are trained specifically to provide lessons through this medium and are taught how to load content to Youtube and interact with students via social media.
TV Meraj: two separate studio spaces were decorated for the culture and education programming. These two spaces are used to produce literacy education programming and to deliver university courses virtually, such as management and leadership, journalism, psychology and computing. Education is one of the main objectives of Meraj TV and the station has produced hundreds of educational programs since its inception.
From Sakena Yaccobi: “At the same time as girls were banned from education, I decided to take a new approach to educating girls throughout Afghanistan. It is vital that the daughters of Afghanistan do not lag behind in their studies. I founded Meraj International Academy to teach school lessons in a form that can be taught and distributed easily to girls in their homes by experienced teachers. Today, when I saw the pictures of a group of girls in Bamyan Province who gather together in their village and study their school lessons through this academy, I was very happy and my motivation doubled. These girls come to a neighbor's house and study their school curriculum through Meraj Academy on the TV.”
Thank you for your support for literacy education in Afghanistan.

The latest book published by AIL is titled "Leadership and Management" and written by Professor Sakena Yacoobi. She is known in Afghanistan as “the mother of education” because of her work in the field of teacher training and education for all ages from preschool to university.
This latest publication explores the discussion surrounding leadership and management in educational environments. It includes practical guides and useful experiences that can help managers and leaders improve their performance and the effectiveness of education. It is also hoped that this book will help executives and leaders to improve leadership and management methods in others through education.
Update on literacy: Meraj Academy reaches those girls unable to attend school with video lessons provided on TV Meraj with a daily, televised high school curriculum for grades 7-12. Literacy is also offered at Learning Centers in the areas of Herat and Kabul as well as more distant provinces.
Thank you for your support.
