The Library of the Ministry of Educa-

lines and its catalogues and lists have been

Greater emphasis has been laid upon
repairs to existing and construction of
new buildings for elementary schools; ten
such new buildings have been constructed.
In secondary education the building of
the oldest secondary school in the country
is being reconstructed on modern lines
in a part of New Kabul. A new building
for girl students is also under construc-
tion. In the field of vocational education
the main success achieved during the
year consisted of the completion of the
buildings of the Afghan Institute of
Technology and other technical schools
situated in Kabul and the provinces.
A large quantity of teaching materials
was acquired in Japan and imported
into Afghanistan during the year. In
Afghanistan teaching materials are pro-

Such equipment is generally purchased
from abroad. Materials purchased abroad
last year are expected to meet the needs
of schools for a period of three years.

ways :-
