Afghan girls will soon be able to attend secondary schools again. Human Rights Watch warns against optimism. The Taliban will allow girls to take part in secondary school classes again next week. "All schools will be opened to all boys and girls," said Kabul Education Ministry spokesman Asis Ahmad Rajan. However, girls should only be taught separately from boys and only by female teachers.
