ime in 2001, significant progress was made in education in Afghanistan. By 2017, the number of schools had more than quintupled. School enrolment, from grades one to twelve, had 9.2 million pupils, 39% of whom were girls. This represented almost a tenfold rise in enrolment, up from just fewer than one million children (almost none of whom were girls) in 2001. The recent come back of the Taliban has therefore raised serious concerns about the future of education, especially for girls. As per the report of UNICEF, an estimated 3.7 million children are out-of-school in Afghanistan – 60% of them are girls.
