A day after the announcement of the 1403 Kankor results, some female students have told that they want to participate in the Kankor exam just like boys.
These girls have once again asked the Islamic Emirate not to deprive them of education.
Fatima, who graduated from school three years ago, spoke about her challenges and concerns: “Every year we hope that universities will reopen for girls, and we review our books. We hope for the day when we can attend universities like boys.”
Fatima continued to ask the interim government: “The Islamic Emirate should allow us too because women make up half of society and their rights should not be trampled.”
Tamanna, another student, said: “When the Islamic Emirate came, they first closed the doors of schools while universities were open. We hoped they would allow universities and eventually open schools this year or next; but over time, they also closed universities.”
At the same time, some women’s rights activists emphasized the importance of girls’ right to education in Afghanistan.
Tafsir Siyahposh, a women’s rights activist, told: “We do not know what the Islamic Emirate wants from us and how long this will continue. We hope they consider the demands of women, especially regarding the right to education. Today, the doors of schools and universities should be opened and the demands of girls considered.”
This comes as the results of the 1403 Kankor exam were announced yesterday (Sunday) by the National Examination Committee.
Atal Khan Rahimzoy, Syed Hamed Hashemi, and Shafiqullah Nizami were the top three scorers in this year’s Kankor exam.
