Opportunities and Challenges for Girls' Education in Afghanistan

Abstract

In Afghanistan's long past, there have been many ups and downs when it comes to girls' education. When it came to education, women in Afghanistan have had the worst time in the past. Before the civil war in Afghanistan, girls' education wasn't very good from the start. The three decades of fighting and war made things worse for girls who were trying to learn. During the time of the Taliban government (1996–2001), no girls were in school. With the help of the rest of the world and the formation of a new government in 2001, hopes came back to life. But even after sixteen years, the schooling of women is still not good enough. The main topic of this study is how girls and boys don't have the same access to primary, secondary, and especially higher education. The study will also look into the main problems that make it hard for women to go to school. A lot of different research papers, educational pieces, reports, and other similar sources were used to gather data for this study.
