In response to the Taliban banning of education beyond grade six, Mosaic Foundation started teaching girls from grade 7-12 through underground schooling and online as part of its “alternative learning pathways” initiative. The long-term goal empowerment through education is to work towards an “alternative” national curriculum, which celebrates diversity and inclusivity, key for values of human rights, and is fit for the 21 Century needs of science and technology. To achieve this we champion creation of the alliance & forum education development in Afghanistan.
