The move applies to 31 out of 34 provinces in Afghanistan ahead of the late December winter break, with most of the tests starting on Wednesday, the Associated Press reported.

One principal claimed to have been told that girls in 12th grade will have exams in 14 subjects with 10 questions per subject, something she derided as"meaningless" due to the lack of textbooks among female students. Girls who fail the exam or do not take it will reportedly be given another opportunity in mid-March after schools reconvene from winter break.
