Bbc news dari afghanistan7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first 12-week series of Dars will air four times a day, Saturday to Friday, on the newly launched BBC News Afghanistan channel. Dars will also bring its young audience current-affairs and inspirational stories from BBC World Service's multilingual global content and from the World Service's 100 Women series. BBC Learning English lessons will be split into two sections, for lower- and higher-stage learning. Tailored for 11 to 16-year-olds, Dars makes the most of the BBC's teaching content with adapted maths, history, science, and Information and Communications Technology modules from BBC Bitesize, the BBC's online study support resource for UK school-age pupils. I want to help them believe that one day you can choose what you are going to be.” Shazia Haya says: “When I am working on this programme, I picture myself as a 16-year-old, and I wish there was a TV programme such as Dars back then… I hope that, as they study with the help of our programme, they also learn that they should not give up on education.”Īalia Farzan adds: “Sometimes I ask myself, if I were a teenage girl in a country where I can't go to school, wouldn't I be very happy if someone helped me, if someone came and taught me? It's such a privilege for me to be able, through Dars, to encourage people to choose their own life. The presenters of Dars – the BBC's Shazia Haya and Malaika Ahmadzai (in Pashto), and Aalia Farzan and Sahar Rahimi (in Dari) – fled Afghanistan, following the country's takeover by the Taliban. We want to offer a topical, learning-based programme in Afghan homes, and we hope Dars will inform and inspire its young audience.” The programme's commissioning editor, BBC World Service News Controller Fiona Crack comments: “As the global public service broadcaster, it felt only right that BBC World Service stepped in to adapt and use the BBC's world-leading education content, as well as our journalism, to help children excluded from school, particularly girls. The series will also be available via BBC News Pashto and BBC News Dari radio, BBC Persian TV broadcasts, and online. From Saturday 1 April, the new BBC News Afghanistan satellite channel will broadcast Dars (“Lesson”) – a TV and radio series in Pashto and Dari, to bring learning to children not at school, including girls aged over 11 barred from formal education. BBC World Service is launching the first series of an education programme for young audiences in Afghanistan. ![]()
