Girls' schools reopen in Afghan city of Herat, say residents
India Today
Schools for girls from Grades 7 to 12 have reopened in Afghanistan's third-largest city Herat, residents said on Monday.
Schools for girls from grades 7 to 12 have reopened in Afghanistan's third largest city, Herat, residents said Monday in what appeared to be a localised change in the Taliban's bar on classes for girls of that age.
Since seizing power nearly three months ago, the Taliban have been under international pressure to allow all girls to go to school. There was no immediate confirmation from Taliban officials that girls were allowed back in Herat, a city in the west of the country, but parents there said their girls had been attending classes the past two days.
