Officials from the Taliban-run Education Department of Logar Province have announced the completion and inauguration of a primary school building in the village of Shah Mazar, Barky Bark district. According to them, the school was constructed with approximately three million Afghanis funded by a charitable organization and has the capacity to educate nearly 880 students.<\/p>\n
Bakhter News Agency, which operates under Taliban control, reported on Saturday, May 23, that with the opening of this facility, local residents will have easier access to educational services. Local officials stated that the school will operate at the primary level.<\/p>\n
This development comes amid ongoing restrictions that prevent girls above the sixth grade from attending schools across the country\u2014a ban imposed since the Taliban regained power. Despite several years passing, no clear timeline has been provided for lifting this restriction.<\/p>\n
Educational organizations and families have repeatedly emphasized that the expansion of educational infrastructure is meaningful only when the right to education is guaranteed for all students, especially girls, without discrimination. Despite the construction of new school buildings in some provinces, the Taliban’s restrictive policies remain a major barrier to equal access to education in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
