Photojournale : Photo documentary and photo journal stories from around the world - Education of an Afghan girl | Afghanistan http://www.photojournale.com/categories.php?cat_id=100 This series was taken in march 2006 in the province of Wardak, Afghanistan.
Up to 900, mostly girls, attended the school.
Few months ago the situation changed: the Talibans claimed to have influence across most of the country. They are now able to operate freely even in Wardak Province.
Mullah Hakmatullah, one of the leader of the Wardak community, said that Talibans do not control the roads nor the towns, but they hold the countryside and have increasing support because of the corruption of the administration. (BBC NEWS, 1 Feb 2008)
The school was burned down and now is only available for boys education: the girls have been kicked out.
