Interesting Facts about Education in Pashtun Culture[edit | edit source]
Education has always been a fundamental part of Pashtun culture. In the past, only religious schools, Madrasas, were available for education. These Madrasas were only for boys, where they would receive a traditional Islamic education. However, in recent years, there has been an increase in the number of schools, universities and education centers. Women's education in Pashtun culture has been a topic of debate as it is still not widely accepted in many areas of Pashtun society.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
To illustrate the words in context, here is a dialogue between two Pashto speakers.

- Person 2: خوشحالای شم نو چې دا خوشحال کېدای. (khoshhaalay sham no chey da khoshhaal kedei) (Congratulations on your choice of major.)
