Recently, in the Zarmat district, the spokesman of the current government of Afghanistan gave an effective speech in which he emphasized the importance of education and said that a strong, confident and honorable society is formed only then. When it is based on education. This is what particularly caught people’s attention:
“Education is necessary because without it the wicked look at you in a perverse way.
This phrase refers to the common social reality that lack of education makes a person weak, helpless and exploited. The spokesperson said that education not only develops the capabilities of the individuals. But it also gives them protection – protection that empowers them to stand up to injustice, pressure, and wrongful gainers.
Education is a source of self-esteem and self-confidence
According to the spokesperson, educated people are respected in society. When one has knowledge, awareness and skills, no one can easily cheat him or violate his rights. He said that “crookedness” refers to the same attitude that is adopted with the weak and illiterate – they are considered weak, helpless or easy victims.
That is why education plays the role of a shield, which protects the honor and dignity of the individual.
A message of social reality
In rural areas of Afghanistan, especially in districts such as Zarmat, such messages carry great significance. Decades of conflict, instability and lack of educational facilities have left local communities vulnerable. The lack of education has led to social inequality, economic problems and an unfair balance of power.
The spokesperson’s statement expressed hope that if literacy increases and educational opportunities increase, this negative cycle can be broken. He said that every child – boy or girl – has the right to education, so that they can contribute to the development of the country.
Though he did not spell out any clear education policy, his words showed that the government considers education as a fundamental factor for social stability.
Education: The Path to Growth and Prosperity
The spokesperson said that it is difficult to mislead the educated society. Such citizens not only understand their duties better. But they also maintain respect for laws, cooperation and social order. They are quick to recognize harmful ideologies, social pressures or criminal elements.
According to experts, research around the world shows that when a society invests in education, the crime rate decreases, the economy strengthens and social structures improve.
Appeal to the public and the elderly
He urged the parents to give priority to the education of their children. At the same time, he also asked the Mishras and dignitaries to fully support the educational activities.
The public’s response
The spokesman’s message spread quickly on social media and in local circles. Many appreciated the simplicity and realism of the narration.
Some hoped that this statement might be the beginning of better educational projects. Others, however, reminded that mere strong statements are not enough – educational institutions, trained teachers, resources and equal opportunities are also necessary.
A call to strengthen the new generation
At the end of his address, the spokesperson said that education is not only a personal benefit but also a national responsibility. An educated nation is capable of establishing peace, building strong institutions and achieving economic autonomy.
He said that the young generation of Afghanistan – millions of children and youth – should not be deprived of their right to education, as this generation can secure the future of the country.
The speaker’s speech in Zermatt – in which education was described as a source of honor and protection – entered the hearts of the people because it points to a simple but powerful truth:
Knowledge is power.
At a time when the country is going through difficulties, education is the path that can lead Afghanistan to a strong, confident and developed society.
