> UNESCO says Afghanistan’s restrictions on women pursuing higher education are likely to worsen the shortage of female teachers. The agency warns that this could further weaken the quality of schooling. Millions of children in the country are already unable to attend school. The restrictions therefore threaten to deepen existing pressures on Afghanistan’s education system.
