Education in Afghanistan

Two separate systems of education exist in Afghanistan. The older system is a religious one, taught by the mullahs, who conduct schools in the village mosques. They teach the religious precepts of the Koran, reading, writing, and arithmetic.

The second system was introduced in Afghanistan's 1964 constitution and provided for free and compulsory education at all levels.
