The Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Education Cannot Wait (ECW) organization (a global fund dedicated to education in emergencies and protracted crises) on Thursday signed an agreement in Kabul based on which education opportunities will be available to almost 500,000 educationally deprived children in the country in the next three years. 

Out of the 500,000 children, nearly 325,000 constitute girls, said education ministry officials at the signing ceremony.  

The program which is also named Education Cannot Wait will be implemented by ECW in the next three years which will cost $137 million. 

In this program, host Sadaf Amiri discusses the topic with Nooria Nazhat Nijrabi, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Education.
