During the last 25 years Afghanistan has suffered through war and due to its after
effects 5.5 million Afghans left the country to neighboring Pakistan in search of  
a new life. Soon they discovered that life is not easy either in their newfound host 
countries. The majority of Afghans displaced are in Pakistan they are not 
always the poor and the under privileged, sizable sector are from Afghanistan's 
middle class society. They are educated and seek a higher standard of education 
and life for their children. Schools are difficult even for their own nationals in 
Pakistan to pay, so when it comes to placement for Afghans displaced the 
students in academic institutions, Pakistan is unable to cope in an already 
over-stretched education System. Consequently Afghans in Pakistan open their 
own schools for their children. This means that they follow the syllabus followed 
in Afghanistan, which in turn means they encounter problems with the education
economically. At this difficult situation, they are caught up in Estiqlal Lycee 
High School established in 1994 in Islamabad. This school has established by 
Mohammad Sharif Salehie with the help and corporation Kabul Estiqlal Lycee School  
graduated students, Mr Saboor Mr Yama Baran, Mr Waleed, Miss Lailoma Jan,
Mr Sher Shah Sarbaz with 23 teachers, who offer their services on a voluntary basis,
run this school. There are 286 students here from ages 6  to 19. The School is constructed as  
three-rooms flat and an office with one toilet and is run in three shifts.
