The Taliban has taken a terrible toll on the education of girls -- and boys as well

Friday, August 14, 2026


The Taliban's rule in Afghanistan has now lasted five years as of Saturday. The group has restricted access to education for girls, shuttering secondary schools for female students. Boys' education has also been disrupted, though with less international attention, according to reporting on the Taliban's education policies.
