AT Kabul:UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric has expressed concern that by 2030, four million girls in Afghanistan could be deprived of education due to ongoing restrictions. During a press conference on Monday, April 4, Dujarric expressed hope that the current educational limitations would not persist until the target year.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) recently reported that 400,000 girls were deprived of education in the new academic year alone. The agency further highlighted that the number of girls excluded from secondary education has now reached 2.2 million.
UNICEF warned that if these restrictions continue, up to four million girls could be denied access to secondary education by 2030, with long-term implications for their futures. Despite international pressure, the Taliban has yet to reopen school doors for girls above the sixth grade.
The situation remains dire, with many advocating for the immediate resumption of girls’ education as a key step toward ensuring equal opportunities for all Afghan children.
