Education
Jaghori has in recent years produced the largest number of students to qualify for a place in the Kabul University and other universities in Afghanistan. The new trend towards learning and education has come as a reaction against what people went through during the decades of factional, tribal, ethnic and religious conflicts.
Currently there are 23 High Schools, and hundreds of smaller primary and middle schools in the district but there are no signs of other infrastructure such as roads, electricity, water or gas.The people produce electricity by own selves by using diesel engines only some hours during night (normally from 6 to 8 PM during winter or 7 to 9 MP during summer). Many people use Solar energy and those close to river use turbine to produce Electricity. As of 2008 there were no reports of closures of schools due to security.
The people in Jaghori specially Sangimasha,Anguri, Ghojor, Almitoo, and Sabzchob and whole areas of the district are very keen in Education. Boys and Girls literacy rate in this region is 82% and so are most parts of Jaghori. they know they can only improve their lifes skills only by education therefore they almost all the time try to learn something about anything.
Jaghori now stands proud in Afghanistan as it has been mentioned the most and highest well-educated, knowledgeable people all over Afghanistan with no Government fund or help.
