Afghan education

Afghan education has faced significant challenges due to ongoing conflicts, political instability, and shifts in government policies. Historically, the system aimed to provide literacy and skills for children and youth, but progress has been inconsistent, especially in rural areas. Access to education, particularly for girls and women, has fluctuated with changing regimes, sometimes improving under inclusive policies and other times restricting opportunities. International aid has played a key role in supporting infrastructure and curriculum development. Despite hurdles, Afghanistan continues efforts to rebuild its education system, emphasizing foundational skills and inclusive access to foster national stability and development.
