The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan states that Afghan students, especially girls, continue to make progress in the fields of health, education, and development despite challenges.
The embassy has emphasized the important role of knowledge and scholars in shaping a bright future for Afghanistan.
In a statement published on its X account in honor of World Science Day, the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan reiterated its support for the country’s students and scholars.
Part of the statement reads: “We continue to support the work of scientists, students, and innovators, as science is the key to peace and prosperity.”
World Science Day for Peace and Development is celebrated annually on November 10. This day highlights the importance of science in society and the need for public engagement in discussions regarding current scientific issues.
It also underscores the deep connection between science and individuals’ everyday lives.
The aim of this day is to create a closer link between science and society and to raise public awareness of scientific achievements. Additionally, it emphasizes the vital role of scientists in the progress and future of various countries.
This day comes at a time when it has been 1,147 days since girls above the sixth grade in Afghanistan have been deprived of attending school.
This situation has resulted in millions of Afghan girls missing out on education.
