Male university students have walked out of their exam in protest against Talibans decision to BAN female students from university education.
Several male professors have also resigned so far.

This is the hope for Afghanistan - men like these students of Nangarhar Medical University refusing to sit exams in protest at women being banned from university. Three university lecturers have also reportedly resigned in protest (from Kunduz, Kabul & a polytechnic).

students will be allowed back in, and I wonder how much higher education is an entree into good jobs there.
Have they just bet their futures on justice?
Brave thing to do.

Best wishes to these heroic men.
