Japan will be ready to provide educational training to female Afghan teachers at women's universities in Japan starting this summer, education ministry officials said Wednesday.
Education minister Atsuko Toyama met with her visiting counterpart of the Afghan interim administration, Abdul Raoul Amin, at the ministry and conveyed Japan's willingness to help his country improve its education system, Japanese officials said.
Toyama told Amin that Japan can provide Afghanistan with programs to support education and accept 20 female Afghan teachers for educational training at women's universities in Japan, beginning this summer, and dispatch two Japanese education specialists to the country for education planning.
