Afghan Girls Seek Education in Madrassas Amid School Ban

Afghan Girls Seek Education in Madrassas Amid School Ban

In Afghanistan, the Taliban government has stopped girls from going to school after primary school.

Because of this, many girls are going to religious schools called madrassas instead.

These schools teach about the Quran and Islam.

Some girls want to become doctors, but they can't go to regular schools to study.

Even though they can't go to regular schools, they hope that studying religion will help them.

Some people think it's important for girls to learn both religious subjects and other subjects like math and science.

The education ban has caused disagreements, and many worry about the problems this will cause for the country's future.
