Officials: Islamic System Needs Skilled, Educated People

According to ministry officials, the Islamic Emirate wants modern education to be provided throughout the nation.

The acting minister of Border and Tribal Affairs said that for the growth of the Islamic system, skilled individuals are needed in the country.

The Acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs, Mullah Noorullah Noori, said that the Islamic Emirate is not opposed to modern education and that religious and modern sciences are related, while speaking at the graduation ceremony for 12th grade students from Rahman Baba and Khushal Khan high schools.

“For the structure and progress of the Islamic system in the country, there is a serious need for educated and trained cadres, in order to put an end to the past misfortunes,” Noori said.

According to the officials of the ministry, there is no gap between madrasas and universities, and the Islamic Emirate wants modern education to be provided throughout the nation.

“We have one religion, one soil, one system, and we made sacrifices for the country’s freedom. There is no distance between Madrasa and university,” Noori added.

“there is no distinction between religion and modern; they are reliant upon each other, religious science is one discipline and modern science is another,” said Abdul Rahman Haqqani, deputy of the Ministry of Border and Tribal Affairs.

Meanwhile, some officials of Rahman Baba High School said that this year more than 330 people from Rahman Baba and Khushal Khan high schools have advanced to higher education.

“We assure you that these students will have good achievements in the future as well,” said Aziz Ahmad Akhundzada, director of Rahma Baba high school.

“These students should attempt to succeed in the future and try to work for the growth of the country,” said Sayed Hakim, a graduate student.

The Rahman Baba and Khushal Khan high schools are administered by the Ministry of Border and Tribal Affairs, and the majority of the students are nomads and residents of the border regions.
