English Online Classes for Afghan Girls
Since 27 August 2023 we have offered online English classes to girls who are barred from studying beyond the sixth grade. The program was created at their request: they want skills that let them work online and build a future.
Many students aim to take the SAT or TOEFL and pursue an international online degree. To help them succeed, every class is taught by highly qualified instructors from several countries, delivering the same rigorous, engaging experience they would receive in a traditional classroom.

Mariam
Hello, I am Mariam (not her real name). I am 20 years old; I graduated from Qranchi Baba High School. I was interested in the medicine field, and it was my biggest aim to pass in the medicine field. I was working hard—I had a regular schedule of my lessons, and I was very close to achieving my goal.
But, unfortunately, with the coming of the Taliban and not letting girls continue their education, most of the talented girls who were working hard and learning became upset, and it is a painful issue. I was continuing my Kankor exam lessons; I also wanted to start an English online class. Before I started it, I knew little, but now I can write emails, can read and write letters, speak, and can solve problems.
Many thanks to our English teacher, who is helping us. Our teacher is a talented, fantastic teacher, and—at the last—I want to appreciate and give special thanks to my respectful teacher, Khatera Jan, who listened to our questions and has helped us during this period!!

Hello, my name is Mariam (not her real name), and I am one of the students in the English class. I am 17 years old and in the 12th grade. I was supposed to graduate from high school this year, but because of the situation in Afghanistan and the Taliban’s order, I couldn’t continue school after the 10th grade.
I was hopeless and depressed until I was introduced to this online school. Everything about this course gave me hope; it motivates me to wake up every day and not give up on my dreams. I want to say thank you to the principal of this school—I dearly appreciate their kindness.
A special thank you to my honorable teacher, Khatera, who has taught me so much in these few months. She is a hard-working and wise teacher—someone I respect and admire a lot.
Sincerely,
Sana Anwary
