More about:

With the United States keen to leave Afghanistan, negotiating with the Taliban has become a fashionable option in both Kabul and Washington. But what will happen to the 2.4 million Afghan girls who currently attend school? 

Bette Dam spoke to Huna, a teacher who has aspirations to become a governor of a province. During the Taliban era she ran clandestine classes for girls from her own home.

Huna takes us to her former undercover classroom. What are the chances that the school books will soon have to be hidden again?
