  • 2 years ago
A month after losing her eye in a deadly suicide bomb attack on her academy, a young Hazara woman has finished among the top candidates in Afghanistan's tough university entrance exams. Results issued over the weekend showed Fatima Amiri scored 313 points out of a possible 360 in the "Kankor", a highly competitive test that more than 100,000 students sat this year to win a coveted university place. The top student got 355, but anything over 300 puts students in the very highest category.
