This directorate has announced the continuation of this process and the introduction of more people to educational institutions.

Nevertheless, Bamyan Martyrs and Disabled Department plans to establish an educational center for the disabled, build an equipped orphanage and pay monthly allowances for orphans in the second six months of this year.

Bamyan is one of the deprived and underdeveloped provinces in the country, which experiences a high level of poverty, and without a doubt, widows, orphans and disabled children are exposed to serious harm.
