The 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) for Afghanistan estimates that eight million people will be in need of education assistance within the same year, with natural disasters contributing to gaps in essential services, and poverty driving families to deprioritise schooling. Afghanistan’s education sector further faces pervasive gaps in accessible and quality education infrastructure, particularly in remote and underserved areas. The restrictive policies on girls' access to education compound this issue, creating a gender disparity in educational opportunities. The shortage of qualified teachers, especially female educators, and the high student-teacher ratio are significant concerns that undermine the effectiveness of education.
