Created under the impulse of King [[Amanullah Khan|Amanullah]] in 1922 as ''Amaniya School'', it was renamed in 1931 to ''Lycée Esteqlal'' (meaning "independence" in Persian). In 1968, French Prime Minister [[Georges Pompidou]] laid the first brick of modern buildings, and the new site was inaugurated in 1974. The curriculum was entirely in the [[French language]] until 1985 when diplomatic relations between France and Afghanistan were suspended under the communist regime. Since 2002, only a few subjects, such as French language, [[mathematics]] and [[physics]], are taught in French, and the rest in [[Persian language|Dari]].

Until 1985, Lycée Esteqlal did not only receive Afghan students, but also several French nationals who were related to the French Embassy's diplomatic staff. Lycée Esteqlal along with '''Lycée [[Malalaï]]''' ({{lang-fa|لیسه ملالی}}), which is the other Franco-Afghan school for girls in Kabul were rebuilt and reopened at the beginning of 2003, and currently they are under the contract of [[Agence pour l'enseignement français à l'étranger]].

King Amanullah, who was progressive and democratic also oversaw the opening of the first girls school, ''Masturat'', in 1921.

[edit]

Created under the impulse of King Amanullah in 1922 as Amaniya School, it was renamed in 1931 to Lycée Esteqlal (meaning "independence" in Persian). In 1968, French Prime Minister Georges Pompidou laid the first brick of modern buildings, and the new site was inaugurated in 1974. The curriculum was entirely in the French language until 1985 when diplomatic relations between France and Afghanistan were suspended under the communist regime. Since 2002, only a few subjects, such as French language, mathematics and physics, are taught in French, and the rest in Persian.

Until 1985, Lycée Esteqlal did not only receive Afghan students, but also several French nationals who were related to the French Embassy's diplomatic staff. Lycée Esteqlal along with Lycée Malalaï (Persian: لیسه ملالی), which is the other Franco-Afghan school for girls in Kabul, were rebuilt and reopened at the beginning of 2003, and currently are under the contract of Agency for French Education Abroad (Agence pour l'enseignement français à l'étranger).

King Amanullah, who was progressive and democratic, also oversaw the opening of the first girls school, Masturat, in 1921. Masturat was closed from 1928 to 1932, then reopened in 1932 through the efforts of the new King Nadir Shah and became a girls secondary school in 1939, led by a French teacher. Seven hours a week of French was taught from the primary year upwards. In 1942, the school moved to a new building and took the name of Lycée Malalai, from the name of a famous Afghan woman who fought in the resistance against the invading English in 1880 during the Second Anglo-Afghan War.[3][4][5]

In 2014 a suicide bomber attacked a cultural center at Esteqlal High School, killing a German national and injuring 16.[6] The explosion occurred during the performance of a play called 'Heartbeat: Silence After the Explosion', which was a condemnation of suicide attacks. One of the injured was musician Ahmad Naser Sarmast.[7]
