Management of the "Sayed Jamalludin Afghan School"
Education of Afghan Refugee Children in India

Outline: The school was opened in New Delhi, capital of India, in 1994, for Afghan refugee children living in India, aged 9-20, in response to a request from the parents. The school offered elementary school level classes twice a week. For six months, the school provided the same level of education offered in other schools of Afghanistan, including the Dari language, culture and history of Afghanistan, and ethics classes. The Foster Parents Program for students from needy families was also implemented.

New Developments: Because of a significant decrease in the number of Afghan refugees living in India and the change of circumstances in Afghanistan, support was terminated in September 2005. The school was handed over to the Afghan people for self-management. A total of approximately 2,600 students studied in this school.
