Summary
PHOTO SANAULLAH SEIAM, ARCHIVES AGENCY FRANCE-PRESS Afghanistan is the only country in the world where secondary and higher education is strictly prohibited for girls and women, says UNESCO. (Paris) About 2.4 million Afghan youth have been deprived of secondary education since the Taliban returned to power five years ago, according to UNESCO, which called on Tuesday at the end of "discrimination" in the country. " These restrictions nullify two decades of progress in access to education" as the number of girls enrolled in secondary education, which was very limited in 2001, had risen to nearly one million in 2021, she adds. " The Afghan education system is currently under increasing demographic pressure," said UNESCO, with the voluntary or forced return of more than 7 million Afghans since 2023.
Furthermore, These discriminations are part of a broader crisis in the education sector: more than half of children of primary school age are completely out of school, and more than 90 per cent of children aged 10 are unable to read a simple text. "Unesco once again condemns discrimination against women and girls and calls for the immediate and unconditional restoration of their right to education," she added, calling for "the world not to look away.".
