In Sar-e Pol, the foundations have been laid for a girl’s school in the Poltrab area of the Gosfandi district, a school in Olya village in the Sozma district, and two schools - one for boys and one for girls - in the Sancharak district. Each school, whose construction is being supported by UNICEF, will contain seven classrooms and two administration rooms.
