Education of girls in Afghanistan suffered an unexpected blow when, within hours of finally reopening, girls' secondary schools were ordered to cease operating.
The Taliban's track record on girls' education left many on edge when it retook control of Afghanistan in 2021.
The previous Taliban regime, between 1996 and 2001, had prohibited all formal girls' schooling.
Yet signs of a softened approach emerged when girls were readmitted to primary education within weeks of the Taliban's takeover.
Although a swift return for girls in secondary education never materialised, there was genuine optimism when schools returned after 7 months, as 12th grade student Satayesh explains.
The school gates had barely opened when a countermand insisting girls' secondary schools remained closed dealt these hopes a crushing blow.
The lack of any rational explanation coming from the ministry of education indicated that the more fundamentalist forces at the top of the regime had put their weight behind the reversal.
So deep was the outrage over the decision, dozens of women and girls openly protested along Kabul's streets, regardless of the personal consequences.
Withholding recognition of the Taliban regime's given the international community leverage to insist the universal right to education be upheld in Afghanistan, with funding even offered by some nations.
Sahar's one of many students keen for a positive outcome.
