 * I think editor is saying that there is "another" educational system in Afghanistan with the addition of this school. I don't know that we have any parameters to analyze which is better, but it would suggest that the school might be added as a "new" method. Clearly discussed or it wouldn't have opened. Is it WP:SPAM or is it necessary? And can we get references? Major questions before we add it. Student7 (talk) 20:38, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Girls' education
Should we have a section dealing specifically with the issue of education of girls?
 * In modern Afghan history girls' education was basically on par with that of boys until the end of the Soviet occupation, then the Taliban regime outlawed the education of girls. Since the American invasion and the end of the Taliban regime rebuilding girls' schools has been an ongoing priority for the Kharzai government.

Who will help me find good sources for such a section? Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:46, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Using other sources then US Govt
After reading this article it saddens me to see that one paragraph describing the downfall of the education system in Afghanistan was caused by the USSR invasion of Afghanistan and this paragraph sources mainly 1 reference and that is the Federal Research Division of the US Congress. To me the US Govt is a bias source when it comes to telling the truth about conflicts especially in ones they were involved in. Forget that instead of calling it a civil war we call it the Soviet war in Afghanistan but to say that USSR invaded Afghanistan is a slap to our intelligence! I asking for a revision of the paragraph to say civil war instead of Soviet invasion which caused the downfall of the education system but to also find other sources of references ie watch groups or neutral parties!

Laptop Program removed
I removed information about the laptop program since it does not meet WP criteria (WP:NOT) and the source points to the program itself rather than to reliable sources (WP:RS). If you think differently, please, let's talk about it here rather than reverting. Thanks. Caballero / Historiador ⎌  22:20, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Article review
The content of the article was relevant to the topic of education in Afghanistan, as it contained information in regard to the background and history of educational institutions in a variety of regions throughout the country. Nonetheless, given the transition of power to the Taliban in August of 2021, it would be beneficial to include how the regime change impacted education policy for both young men and women.

Furthermore, the author includes an analysis of the multiple challenges surrounding the development of access and policies in regard to primary, secondary, and tertiary schools. Although this subsection is important to the general topic of education in Afghanistan, I found the description of the challenges facing education development to be greatly limited.

The article is written in a neutral tone and each claim made not only has a citation, but there are embedded links throughout the works as well. The resources in the references subsection of the Wikipedia page are reliable. Finally, the article does sufficiently address Wikipedia's equity gaps, as it covers information regarding the Afghan population, and specifically women. These populations are historically underrepresented and misrepresented. Hjamshed (talk) 06:39, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
