Hello. Can you tell me about the governance of Afghanistan? 
 Afghanistan became a member of the United Nations in 1946. In 2012, the United States and Afghanistan signed their Strategic Partnership Agreement in which Afghanistan became a major non-NATO ally. 
 Any more facts about their governance? 
 Today, several NATO member states deploy about 20,000 troops in Afghanistan as part of the Resolute Support Mission. 
 Thank you! What about education there? 
 You're welcome! The United States is building six faculties of education and five provincial teacher training colleges around the country, two large secondary schools in Kabul, and one school in Jalalabad. 
 I didn't know that. Anything else about education? 
 Education in Afghanistan includes K-12 and higher education, which is overseen by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Higher Education. 
 Ok. Any other interesting facts about Afghanistan?
