Najiba’s career as an educator halted nearly three years ago when the Taliban imposed a ban on girls’ education, a controversial policy
The Taliban’s ban on girls’ education in September 2021 led to a significant loss of jobs for female teachers.
“We had this fear but didn’t know it would happen so soon. It was the hardest thing to know that I wouldn’t be able to teach anymore,” Najiba, an English teacher in Kabul, told the news. “I feel I am becoming illiterate because I don’t study. I miss my students and colleagues every day and every moment. I feel lonely most of the time at home,” she said.
A year after their takeover, the Taliban had eliminated 14,000 government jobs held by women, most of which were teaching positions, according to a report published by SIGAR, the US government’s oversight authority on Afghanistan’s reconstruction. For Khaperai, who used to teach at a secondary school in Jalalabad, the capital of the eastern Nangarhar province, the Taliban’s policies are taking a toll on her mental health and financial situation.The 42-year-old has tried in vain to transfer to a primary school, but no vacancies exist in her area.
