Teaching the young has paid off in Hazara society, where literacy is above the national average. Boys- like these fifth graders at an all-boys school in Bamian -still fill the majority of classrooms. But at least 40 percent of Hazara students taking college entrance exams are now women. -National Geographic, February 2008, Vol. 213, No. 2
