the women marching here have come from all over england and the band as they've made highlight a whole range of issues but what they're all doing is looking back to the achievements of the suffragettes and looking forward to a more equal future. and they're hoping the younger generations will be as bold as those who came before the. zero. and you can get more know all the stories we've been telling you about to our website al-jazeera dot com. and let's take a look at some other stories now the u.s. president is meeting singapore's prime minister had a star examine it with the north korean leader delegates are working on the final details of the meeting on tuesday how defiant together to james' face has moved

week it's one zero one east now stay with us. we understand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world so no matter how you take it down to zero we'll bring you the news and current events that matter to you. in war torn afghanistan or simply going to school can be a privilege. especially if you're a girl. and. two out of three girls don't attend school this is by billions of dollars in aid spent on education over the last two decades

. i'm steve on this episode of what i want to use to be investigate why so many of afghanistan's girls are kept outside of the classroom. it's the dawn of a new school day across afghanistan and girls from the dash district or neighborhood in west kabul begin making their way to class. pushed a trickle. and soon a steady stream out. by six am the outpouring from the gates. there steve from norwich ready to learn. it's six am seems to leave for school and it is and. that's because this is the first of three ships here. it's the only way to accommodate the more than fourteen

thousand students from the school wolf split almost evenly between schools and. over the next week we've been given extremely rare access inside the cia to shahada school to try to understand what life is like for a girl for him to school in afghanistan. because the combination is so hard for us in our country. our war problems. sixteen year old math. has been a student at seattle shahada since grade one over that time she and principal akila tasha cooley have seen the numbers of girls at your school more than ok melissa yes and so are a stroll and though we have. a few buildings here and there. was

a student here they guess seven thousand just was just here so i wonder how long. the huge increase in the numbers of feel studying it. is a welcome sign of progress compared to the days when the taliban were in power and girls were forbidden from going to school. but the school's enormous growth has a major consequence too many students and not enough classrooms so we have a few buildings here yeah which ones are for girls one is simple this. time of movement is saying that that building is from the beis building room for the from the five buildings and from the by the we are seeing the buildings are all loved by all the building all of the boys are the mice yes. one of the girls that's there is full of the yes.

we don't have classroom fees we don't have buildings i guess just for our parents and all of them is the buildings are going to buy if we don't have any building. how many classes in three times we are more than four feet what it cost us four to come in times a day she time with a. really good is ok just go hard to be on the bus to lug with you. you're. getting. some time or are you seeing. there is only one high school in this neighborhood which is why the girls come from far away from all the population is growing and day by day the girls come knocking on our door to be enrolled and we cannot tell them no joy.

we have to accept them but we don't have enough space that's why we have problems. the. lack of infrastructure is only one of many reasons why so many afghan girls are out of school. in fact no one actually knows how many girls are in school not even the afghan government the ministry of education is not sure how many students are there is it eleven million or is it seven point two million is it eight million nobody knows exactly how many students are there. that's just one of several findings of a recent independent review on corruption within the ministry of education released late last year the results made headlines across the country it found widespread corruption throughout the education system ministry. of bashar is the former

director of afghanistan's anti corruption watchdog and author of the report after spending billions and billions of taught in the last sixteen years. we have not been able actually to have any kind of building for most of the schools our finding shows that. the treaty money was taken in cash to remote parts of afghanistan by the trustees and we had information that the money did not make the right people. had siad all shahada there aren't even enough classrooms for the boys. many classes are held in the hallways or in stairwells wherever a teacher came from space. the only place you won't find boys attending classes is in a tent or out in the open with the girls in the past living area where together by

some girls we didn't first through lack of that class is ok we had enough classes here but right now we have too much people we have too much a student here because of this there is no play is. recognizing the desperate need at the school japanese donors built to need buildings five years ago so girls would have their own classrooms. at the school shura the community leaders decided to give those buildings to the people. in this school is the blanks to ask the girls because when for an answer coming we were under the sun we were under the radar and therefore in ours next one did the school's frazz but right now is this vices i don't know why you feel angry about. the angry yes because in the past. where when they are coming so they will think about us as about about the gears but right now

it's the my school i don't know why and it's right makes me really angry that's why i always the right of the girls are like. improving education especially for girls is a well known objective for international donors principal akila says the local community gave the buildings to the boys thinking. that donors would come back to build more classrooms for the girls. for how many. people think n.g.o.s come here to work only for girls so the community decided the bolling's should be for the boys. i don't know if the school's management or others interview these issues are always decided by the males and the school management. did the donors ever come back after they built the building. they came once to visit then went back home to ruffle. the security

situation continues to deteriorate in afghanistan as a result there we feel international donors are able to visit the projects they support so many rely on third party monitors to do that work which according to the anti corruption committee opens yet another avenue for corruption we've found that the school monitors and instead of doing proper monitoring off the quality of education. they have been working for themselves you know to go to some of the school to kind of harass the teachers in the school administration get money from them and then through their evaluation once they were happy we had an example our school that we were working with them but actually on which has a thousand kids on the register actually when we went in there there were twelve kids coming to school. in kaplan is

a researcher who contributed to the anticorruption report as an education specialist he works with the norwegian and geo providing support for schools throughout afghanistan including this school for the deaf and kabul. sign language which. kaplan says he's fortunate to be able to visit the projects and geo supports it's often kind of difficult for donors to be able to do that because of security concerns but also sometimes it's not always the interest to go out and follow up on these things and to go out and visit so it doesn't happen very often i think even when you get a feeling for something in a way that you don't if you're sitting behind a desk you know you see people and you see them engaging in learning it and i mean for me that's the reason to be here but without that i would just lose the feeling for it i think altogether but he says lack of donor access and oversight is only one of the issues affecting girls' education in afghanistan while girls of lacking

so much more than boys when it comes to education well i think you know at least in the past there had been just much more focus on just getting anyone in the school first and then it was easier to get boys into school and. you know and also just because of gender norms you know that the more attention has been focused on boys than girls generally see india as a country that's leaving all this like saying that they are not that there's not that there's all this saying that this. is the top. levels of the afghan government and the international community deal with the findings of the anti corruption report the staff and the girls that say it all shahada face more immediate issues. the first shift of the school day from six am to ten am is almost over and while four hours might seem a little light on school times it may be a blessing in disguise because any longer on the girls may happen is to play with.

the trash talk a new car bomb we have seven thousand go but both male and female students have to use the same time i'm sorry. we tell them during the summer league do it before coming to school. have you ever gone to the toilet in your school yes i was seven years old. or when to call and. it's a will but situation here. the biggest car would you. go to the bar. with this. poor working conditions in most schools make it more difficult to attract female teachers yet they're desperately.
