UNESCO says 1.4 million girls banned from school since Taliban retook power

UNESCO says that three years of Taliban rule has barred 1.4 million girls from accessing secondary education, wiping out "two decades of steady progress for education" in Afghanistan, while an "increasingly massive drop-out rate" at the primary school level threatens a "rise in child labour and early marriage" in the country.
