Acting Minister of Education Habibullah Agha met with former Japanese Ambassador to Afghanistan Takashi Odaka and his delegation this week where they discussed issues around the education sector in the country.
Odaka said that Japan supports the plans and programs of the ministry of education and said Tokyo was prepared to build more schools in the future in coordination with the ministry.
Japan has in the past built 165 schools at a cost of $25 million in Afghanistan.
Agha meanwhile thanked the Japanese envoy for Tokyo’s assistance in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and in their assistance in the education arena.
He also said the ministry is ready to provide the necessary support to Japan in their endeavors to implement projects in the country.
