AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Education Access: Afghanistan’s Taliban-run Kankor university entrance exams continue, with the third round held in Kabul and a final round set for June 12—yet girls remain barred from secondary school and therefore from taking the tests. Women’s Rights Enforcement: In Herat, Taliban morality officials reportedly issued a dress-code warning to families, threatening detention for women who appear without the required veil or with uncovered faces. Humanitarian Pressure: UN partners met in New York to review Afghanistan’s worsening political, humanitarian, security, and human rights crisis, warning of massive need, funding gaps, and rising restrictions on women’s access to education and work. Local Education Gaps: A Farah field report says children in returnee and displacement settlements lack functioning schools and are pushed into work due to distance and poverty. Culture & Activism: Education activist Matiullah Wesa received France’s Freedom Prize 2026 and says he will use the money to build schools in remote areas. Regional Security: Pakistan and Russia signed agreements at the SCO meeting to curb illegal immigration and drug trafficking, while also discussing terrorist camps in Afghanistan.
