In the way of observation it maybe said that if the Wofesi Jirgahhad decided to publish the names, ofthqse who remained absent, in 'thatcase, it might itself have broken theparliamentary immunity of its mem­bers by defaming them.

Another late "development .in thelife of" our young parliament is theappointment of one of the membersof the Wolesi Jirgab as His Majesty'sambassador in Saudi Arabia. Theappointment shows the prestige. ofthe House to the bead of our stateand the people.

First, it was decided that thenames of those members who werepresent be published io ·tbe pressand broadcast over the radio. Thiswas done.

Second, the' House publisbed anannouncement asking Lbe absenteesto return to the house as sooo aspossible.

Your seventh, eighth and ninthsuggestions were ~ well taken.and we can find nothing in themto comment on. In conclusion, theAfghan Advenising Agency washappy to find such well-informed .public concern in advertising,and'we welcome Mr. Noleta Cheenand all others interested to visitour offices where we' can discussthe problems of advertising per_soually and at length.Afghan Adverllslng ~1'Jll'7

In the way of observation it maybe said that if the Wofesi Jirgahhad decided to publish the names, ofthqse who remained absent, in 'thatcase, it might itself have broken theparliamentary immunity of its mem­bers by defaming them.

Another late "development .in thelife of" our young parliament is theappointment of one of the membersof the Wolesi Jirgab as His Majesty'sambassador in Saudi Arabia. Theappointment shows the prestige. ofthe House to the bead of our stateand the people.

UNESCO helped the Ministryof Education with a $300,000grant last year. Two years ago . itwas agreed that UNESCO and UN]·CEF agencies would help Afghanis·tan to cievelop two institutionsof higher stuwes in teachertraming LD a period of fiveyears. The project will cost about51,158,000,

The Planning Department Of'the Ministry of Education is en­gaged in outlining pro~ammes

for inclusion in the third fiveyear development plan of thecountry. Some foreign pl.anningteams ioIrc helping the Pl.anningDepartment of tbe Ministry withthis task.

The interest shown in the deve·lopment of education in Afghan­Istan is further highlighted intimes of disaster, When Habibiawas partly destroyed by a fire in1955--0ue of tbe staff membersof the K.-ibul Times then was astudent and personally saw thetragedy. - Severe damage wasdone not only to the buildingitself but also to the physics andcbemistry laboratories whichcost millions of afghanis,

The new Habibia high schoolbuilding on Darulaman Road is adelight to ~e. Similarly Nejstdesrtyode by fire some years ago.will be reconstructed by help pro­vided from the Federal RepUblic ofGermany.

The l;uildings of Ghazi and Is­tiqlal schools are also obsoleteand too small to accommodate allthe students. The British andFrench sources have shown in­terest in helping rebuild thesetwo schools also.

Educational PlanningThe duties of the Planning De­

partm~nt at the Ministry ofEducation are becoming moreand more complex, There was atime, and it was not very longago, that parents attempted tobribe school officials in variotlSprovinces not to bother themabout putting tb;eir children inschool

The situation is quite different Inow. No matter how small. everyvil.lage wants at least one sclloo1opened there, the a1aka daris, andwoleswdlis want middle schools,high schools. vocational schools.They w""t brighter, largef. bel­ter-equipped school bniJdings

The provinces want collegesand other institutes of highereducation in their capitals_ Inmost cases these requests meritconsiderable attention and moreoften than not experts !lave de­cided it will be be.nc6cial to set upthe requested school in a certainlocality. However, the growth of
