JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI) Jusuf Kalla met with Afghan Education Minister Maulwi Habibullah Agha at the Kabul Ministry Office, Afghanistan. The two discussed educational conditions in Afghanistan, including providing opportunities to study in Indonesia for Afghan youth. "One of the basic needs after Afghanistan reconciled and tried to rise from behind is education," he said in a release broadcast from Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, June 4, which was confiscated by Antara. At the meeting, the 10th and 12th Vice Presidents of Indonesia offered to help improve education in Afghanistan. "We are trying to offer Afghan youth to school or study at universities in Indonesia," he said.

JK added that not only Indonesia will help improve education in the country. He promised to invite several other Islamic countries to help the education system in Afghanistan. "We will invite other Islamic countries to work together to revive the education sector here after decades of fighting with foreign countries. Because the education factor is one field that is very backward so it must be helped to bounce back," he said. For the nearest agenda, he stated that he would improve the education curriculum by inviting Afghan education experts to Indonesia so that they could conduct direct comparative studies. "That's to learn how to combine religious education with education and technology," he said.
