"It's like a light in a very dark tunnel" - one Afghan schoolgirl welcomes the new lessons being provided by the 麻豆官网首页入口.
"It's like a light in a very dark tunnel" is how one Afghan schoolgirl describes the new lessons being provided by the 麻豆官网首页入口 for students aged 11 to 16. Girls have been banned by the Taleban from going to school, but now the 麻豆官网首页入口 is offering teaching through the radio, satellite television and the internet. The lessons are partly based on the 麻豆官网首页入口 Bitesize home study service offered to pupils during the pandemic. Shazia Haya fled Afghanistan in 2021 and is one of the teachers. She hears reaction from pupils - and talks about her own experience.
