An overview is presented on the education of girls in Afghanistan, including the ability of women to work as teachers. The article includes a brief history of educational prohibitions under Taliban rule, which prompted women and girls to study in secret, and concludes with the marking of March 21, 2002 as the nation's official back-to-school day for females.
