The Need to Reactivate Traditional Schools Among Afghan Shiite Communities in the Second Era of the Emirate

In the not-so-distant past, when there were no government and official schools and madrasas in the Shiite areas of Afghanistan, the education and upbringing of children and adolescents was mostly done in traditional schools. Even the foundations of the current seminaries and the basis of today's schools and madrasas were formed by old forgotten schools. In traditional schools, people were educated in Islamic ethics and customs and were polite to religious customs and traditions. In Afghanistan, schools played a fundamental role in promoting and institutionalizing religious and Islamic culture among the people, especially the Shiite community. With the fall of the republic and the coming to power of the Emirate for the second time, which brought about fundamental changes in the political system and cultural, educational and training institutions, this fundamental question arises: is there a need to reactivate traditional schools among the Shiite community of Afghanistan in the second era of the Emirate? This issue has been examined and organized in this article using a descriptive-analytical method and data collection from written sources and, if necessary, interviews with experts. The research findings show that, given the current circumstances and the restrictions imposed on culture, education, and upbringing, it seems necessary to reactivate traditional schools among the Shiite community of Afghanistan.
