Afghanistan faces ‘generational catastrophe’ in education: UN – Roya News English

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) said Friday that Afghanistan faces the risk of reversing the course of two decades of educational gains for children, especially girls, in light of the possibility of new violence erupting with the return of Taliban rule.

"The number of internally displaced people is expected to rise, increasing the risk of educational losses among children and a generational disaster that will negatively affect the sustainable development of the country for years," the UN agency said in a statement.
