AIL conducts trainings during the year including teacher training. So far in 2016, 398 teachers (234 female and 164 male) have undergone training in modern methods of teaching. 701 people (341 female and 360 male including some teachers) have been to trainings on other subjects such as leadership, health, violence, tax, administration, IT and computers.

Shakila,one of the teacher training seminar participants said, "This was of the best seminars that I have ever been to. I have really learned about important issues from this seminar. It's  several years that I have been a teacher, and I didn't know the things that I learned about today. I am sure that there will be changes in my method of teaching from now on."

The AIL education program is going well and classes are being held at 43 Learning Centers (LCs) in Afghanistan and Pakistan, including 15 rural centers around Herat. All teachers are AIL trained  and the students benefit from the modern teaching methods that they use.   A diverse range of subjects are offered (though not at all centers) including: math, literacy, Arabic, English, sewing, miniature painting, computers and physics. So far 13,888 students (including 9,044 females and 4,844 males) participated in Learning Center education. 

TODAY, your donation can go further!  Donate between 9:00am and 11:59pm and help AIL continue its valuable work providing education.
