KABUL, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- The construction of 14 school buildings has been completed and put into operation in eastern Afghanistan's Logar province, a provincial official said on Saturday.
Funded by the Ministry of Education and international organizations at a cost of 160 million afghani (over 2.33 million U.S. dollars), the facilities were implemented in Pul-e-Alam, the provincial capital, and six surrounding districts, according to Shah Poor Arab, spokesman for the provincial education department.
The new facilities are expected to create a better learning environment for approximately 12,000 students, thereby improving access to both primary and lower secondary education across the province, according to the official. ■
