Abstract

Despite efforts by the government of Pakistan and the UNHCR to establish formal regulations and educational programs for Afghan refugee children, the results are mixed and unclear. On the one hand, these actions resulted in the enrollment of about 56,000 Afghan students and the placement of some refugee children in public schools. Meanwhile, overall enrollment fell from 55% in 2019-2020 to 18% in 2022-2023, demonstrating that, while legal and strategic frameworks exist, operational gaps, resource constraints, and cultural barriers continue to inhibit their effectiveness. This study aims to find out what the Pakistan’s government and UNHCR do within their legal frameworks and techniques to help Afghan refugees continue their education, and why the program is problematic. This research consider the Pakistan government's and UNHCR's legislative frameworks for expanding educational access for Afghan refugees and the implementation of these initiatives. The investigation examines UNHCR and government records to understand their service delivery goals. Economic concerns, school overcrowding, unequal opportunities for genders, and a lack of resources prevent children from achieving optimal growth. This study demonstrates that high-quality interventions, coordinated planning at all levels, and ongoing support enable Afghan refugees to receive a good education in their host nation. The study proposes improving education and making refugees feel more welcome in the Pakistani educational society.

Abstract

Education is one of the most basic and obvious needs of a society, which plays a significant role in human progress and development. It empowers people intellectually and spiritually and leads to improvements, innovations and discoveries. In Afghanistan, especially after the formation of the interim government, significant progress has been made in education. However, challenges remain, including the gender gap in education. While measures have been taken, the participation of girls in schools and universities, especially in rural areas, is low due to cultural and traditional restrictions. In the past, the Taliban has caused irreparable damage to the Afghan education system, especially for girls. In both periods of the Taliban, women were deprived of education and work. which had negative consequences for the economic and social status of women. In education, there remain important obstacles, including gender inequalities and the influence of the Taliban regime, to ensure fair access to education and empower Afghan youth. This qualitative research seeks to find an answer to how the Taliban government affects the rights of girls in education, examining their policies and practices, as well as other factors affecting women's lack of access to education in Afghanistan. In addition, effective strategies to solve these challenges will be examined. To support women's education, it is necessary to use multi-faceted approaches with the participation of different stakeholders, to challenge the ideologies of the Taliban, impose restrictions, increase awareness and the importance of women's education in society, and to provide suitable solutions for women's education.
