kabul [Afghanistan]May 11 (ANI): Afghanistan’s acting education minister under Talibanha has said conditions have not yet become suitable for reopening schools for girls beyond sixth grade, Afghanistan-based Tolo News reported.
Minister Syed Habibullah Aga was speaking to reporters during his visit to Panjshir Province.
The final decision on reopening schools will be made by religious clergy, Agha said.
“When conditions are ready, schools will reopen according to Sharia law and in cooperation with state and religious scholars,” Agha said.
According to Tolo News, local officials in Panjshir said that a seminary for more than 1,000 students will be established in the province.
Panjsher governor Mohammad Mohsin Hashimi said: “Panjsher has played the same role as all other provinces. The establishment of a ‘Jihad Seminary’ in Panjsher will be approved for 1,000 Talib (students).”
“It (Islamic Emirate) opens another door, if someone doesn’t like school or university, a better place for them is a seminary. I hope they will use this seminary,” said religious cleric Abu Dura Sadid said.
The acting education minister led by the Taliban said that “jihadist” seminaries were established in all provinces of the country by decree of the leader of the Islamic emirate.
Afghans have recently demanded that girls and women be allowed to educate and work in the country. This was on the sidelines of an international meeting of the United Nations in Doha.
The United Nations meeting chaired by Secretary-General Guterres and attended by representatives of more than 20 countries and organizations was held in Doha.
Some Afghan women criticized the absence of women representation at the meeting. They also argued that participants should work to lift restrictions on Afghan women’s work and education, according to Tolo News. (Arnie)
