Schools in Parwan Province, Afghanistan: Observations from Site Visits at 14 Schools
Abstract
This report is the seventh in a series that discusses our findings from site visits at schools across Afghanistan that were either built or rehabilitated by USAID. The 14 schools discussed in this report are in Parwan province, Afghanistan. The purpose of this Special Project review was to determine the extent to which those schools were open and operational, and to assess their current condition. We found that all 14 schools were open and in generally usable condition. However, we found that there may be problems with student and teacher attendance and staffing at several of the schools. We also found that some schools have minor structural deficiencies (e.g. damaged walls, leaking roofs, and/or holes in windows) that may affect student safety and the delivery of education. We provided a draft of this report to USAID for comment on August 10, 2018. USAID provided comments on August 18, 2018. In its comments, USAID stated that it will "inform the appropriate authorities within the MoE [Ministry of Education] of the schools that SIGAR identified as lacking clean water, having poor sanitation conditions, or showing signs of structural damage and safety hazards." Additionally, USAID states that it will "alert the MoE and the Parwan Provincial Education Director of the observed low attendance rates in the schools identified" in SIGAR's review.
