Afghanistan has one of the highest illiteracy rates in the world. In rural
areas, where three-fourths of all Afghans live, 90% of the women and 63% of the
men are illiterate. Nearly three-quarters of Afghans over the age of 15 cannot
read or write. Under the Taliban, girls were not allowed to go to school and
many boys received religious education in lieu of academics.
