Farzaneh, a female teacher in a girls’ school for over 20 years in Samangan
I am profoundly disturbed by the closure of girls' schools beyond the 6th grade, depriving them of their right to education.
Teaching brings me joy, particularly as I teach English. Witnessing the eagerness of my students to learn when I am at school is truly rewarding. The girls show remarkable enthusiasm and interest in their lessons.
It is truly disheartening that their opportunity to learn is being squashed. It is a great shame.
