On the occasion of World Students’ Day, the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan has stated that despite challenges, students and teachers in the country continue to strive for knowledge and growth.
In a message published on its X account on Monday, November 18, the embassy emphasized that education is a “fundamental right and the key to a brighter and more peaceful future for Afghanistan.”
The U.S. Embassy for Afghanistan reiterated its commitment to supporting students in the country.
It is worth mentioning that November 18 is recognized as World Students’ Day in some European and Asian countries.
As World Education Day approaches and the annual examinations in schools draw near, some female students are urging that the interim government should not keep schools closed to girls in the new academic year.
Additionally, several sixth-grade girls are calling on the international community to pressure the interim government to lift educational restrictions in Afghanistan.
More than 1,151 days have passed since schools for girls above the sixth grade have been closed in Afghanistan, leaving millions of Afghan girls without access to education.
