Fast track literacy classes help women advance quickly courses of study. Some women have more time available for classes while others have to take a course more slowly due to family commitments.
Literacy is very popular with 1,037 students studying literacy in AIL centers in June. Other students who are unable to get to class take advantage of education offered through Radio Meraj and AIL’s Meraj Academy. The latter is provided on TV Meraj with a daily, televised high school curriculum for grades 7-12. A mobile literacy class is running currently. This class takes students to 4th reading level in 4 months.
"Aqeela said, I am a woman who lost the chance of being educated when I was a teen. I am so happy for having the chance to take part in this class. I heard good things about the class and this persuaded me to come here and participate. In the past 4 months I learned to be a new person educated in reading and writing. Moreover, I learned to be a skillful woman who is able to change the rest of her life.
In June, there were 975 sewing students at AIL Learning Centers across 11 provinces of Afghanistan. AIL also offers carpet weaving, embroidery and nut weaving all of which are traditional Afghan crafts.
