This year, female students were once again not allowed to participate in the Kankor exam, and all the participants were boys.
This decision has faced widespread criticism from activists and organizations. Rahimzoy, a resident of Paktia province, achieved the highest score of 395.61 and has been admitted to the Kabul University School of Medicine.
He called on the government to reopen schools and universities for their sisters. Rahimzoy added that he worked hard to achieve this position, dedicating time to his studies, meals, and prayers.
