It is natural that every night ends into a day; even if the night is a very dark and lengthy one, it has to end into a day – this can never be stopped. Same is the case with human society; it has to change; it has to evolve and it has to experience new ideas and developments. Those who strive to stop such changes, ultimately have to give up, as changes are inevitable.

One of the factors that are responsible for making these changes possible and easy to understand is education. It is education that guarantees smooth evolution of the society and welcomes the new ideas and processes. The nations of the world that have given importance to education and have made efforts to develop their education systems on the basis of modern and scientific systems have been able to earn extraordinary development and fame. At the same time they have acquired myriad of facilities of life for their people and have made them capable of living their lives with dignity and honor.

However, the nations that have opposed education have, in fact, blocked their own way to success. They are the ones who have actually themselves have tied their feet and hands with the ropes and are not able to move ahead even though they need to do so. At the same time, they are the ones who have blindfolded themselves and think that there isn’t anything around them to see. They are, in short, in the process of fooling their own selves.

Ultimately, they are the ones who would be greatly influenced by the negative impacts of all such behavior. Though they think that they are performing some great service to their nations by keeping it unpolluted and unaffected by the germs of education, in reality, they are bounding and isolating themselves and letting themselves decay instead of being active part of the real world that demands progress, growth and modern education.

Afghanistan is one of the countries that are highly influenced by such people who intend to block all the ways to advancement and modernization. Blinded by religious extremism and obsolete tribal values, they are always ready to oppose any sort of efforts that are dedicated to disseminate education to the people of Afghanistan, as they know that the modern education that has been spread in the country to a certain level may encourage evolution and modern changes.

At present time, nothing is so urgently required for our nation as modern education – Education that should be based on up to date information, analysis and developments in different fields of knowledge and must be aided with modern technology; education that can give the coming generation of Afghanistan an outlook other than extremism. And all these have to be provided to the people of Afghanistan without charging them much, as majority of the people are already suffering severely under the reign of deteriorated socio-economic situation.
