Seyed, a male teacher for over 20 years in a secondary boys’ school in Herat
I was happy when I was teaching the upper classes, but I have now been at home for the past two years.
I am fortunate because when I was teaching, my salary has always been paid on time, but the working conditions were not good.
I firmly believe that girls should have the right to education and female teachers should be allowed to teach boys.
