Afghan girls sit exams despite not attending schools for a year

Afghan education authorities have organised graduation exams for high school girls across much of the country despite most of them being barred from attending classes since the Taliban’s return to power last year. The education ministry did not provide details of the exams or how many pupils were sitting them and refused to allow the media near schools where they were being held on Wednesday.
