Many girls in Balkh districts forced to quit school early

MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Many girls in northern Balkh province have been deprived of education activists said on Monday.

The provincial Women’s Affairs Department says it considers restrictions on girls to get education a worst form of violence against women.

Meanwhile, the Education Department assures measures have been undertaken to resolve problems girls face in obtaining education.

Forty percent of the totally enrolled students in Balkh are girls but many girls in districts are out of school, a huge issue which remains unresolved.
