Children are studying at Sayef High School, in Faizabad, Badakhshan, a northern province of Afghanistan.
The school teach children into two shifts, girls in the morning and boys in the afternoon.
In Afghanistan 3.7 million children are out of school, girls comprise 60 % of out-of-school children and only 54 % of enrolled children complete primary school.
A strong education system is key to getting girls and boys in school and keeping them there. UNICEF helps build education systems that create opportunities for quality learning. Working at the national, provincial, community levels with the Ministry of Education and other partners, UNICEF focuses on the most vulnerable people in disadvantaged areas, particularly girls, to combat exclusion due to poverty, discrimination and conflict.
For every child, education.
