"Girls are heartbroken to still be barred from schools in Afghanistan, as their brothers return" - World Vision
Afghanistan's de facto authorities’ Ministry of Education, in a notice issued on 19th March 2023, announced that new school year will begin on 21st March – however this notice did not provide clarity on girls’ education above grade six, one year after the ban was introduced. Afghanistan is currently the only country in the world where girls are restricted from attending full time education from grade six. As the result of the restrictions, 1.1 million girls have been prevented from continuing their education since March 23, 2022.
Asuntha Charles, WVA’s National Director calls on the de facto authorities to reverse the ban on girls' education.
