Our friends Israr and Sayeed recently opened the first pre-school in Jalalabad! Children typically don't begin school until they are seven or eight so this school gives kids a chance to start learning English, Pashto, math and science at age five. The kids all wear stylish uniforms with leather jackets and were in the middle of exams when we visited. Most of the teachers are recent high school graduates and have never had formal teacher training. We are trying to work with Israr to provide some sort of training for the teachers.
