(Education in Afghanistan)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(This article is of interest to me because given the current political climate in Afghanistan, women’s educational rights have been put on a halt, after reading this article, there was no ultimate shock of the previous patterns of women's rights since it has been a long going issue, but of recent events education has shifted once again, to add this in the article I think it would be of great relevance.)

Evaluate the article
- The Lead does introduce the topic well but does not entirely go over the major topics that the article discusses.

- Due to the current political climate, the rights to education for women in Afghanistan have changed once again and this needs to be more emphasized and highlighted since its the current news update of education in Afghanistan.

- I think the article underrepresents the role of education of women in Afghanistan and does not give a lot of insight as to why the education for women/girls are currently not available. Although the article does fail to recognize the years of education women in Afghanistan have achieved and utilized. It fails to highlight Women’s education in the past vs now. Only seems to recognize women’s education when there was difficulty within the Taliban regimes.

- as for sources, many of them are not so scholarly but from news outlets, which do relay biased information at times that can be convenient to use in the article.

- The articles overall status does run a good insight of education in Afghanistan but seems to only highlight Afghanistan’s failure of education and not many achievements.
