As schools across Afghanistan open for the new academic year, girls are once again facing the exclusion from secondary-level classes, marking the third consecutive year of this ban under the Taliban regime. The ban has forced many to turn to online learning as an alternative means of education. Despite the challenges, the spirit of education remains undeterred among Afghan girls, with reports of secret schools operating to continue their education for four million girls banned from education. Teacher Parasto Hakim is highlighted for her organization's efforts in running these secret schools. The international community has criticized the Taliban's stance on girls' education, but the group remains unmoved, considering it a domestic affair and stating the ban is "temporarily". The situation highlights the ongoing struggle for women and girls' rights in Afghanistan.
