Afghan city defies norm by keeping schools open for girls

The Taliban came to power promising to respect women’s rights and allow girls’ education – in line with Islamic precepts.
But high schools and public universities are still closed across Afghanistan as the group says it still needs time to sort out the logistics of allowing female students back.
But the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif is the exception that proves the rule.
