It is still not entirely clear how many freedoms the Taliban will allow women and girls in particular in the “new” Afghanistan. However, a statement on the operation of secondary schools does not mention them at all.
The militant Islamist Taliban have called on secondary schools to reopen for boys.
All public, private and official religious schools as well as other educational institutions in the country should resume school operations on Saturday, it said in a statement released by the Ministry of Education on Friday. “For this purpose we ask all male teachers and students to visit their schools.”
Female students are not mentioned in the declaration. There was also no information on when schools could or should reopen for girls from the 7th grade onwards. The statement went on to say that students up to 6th grade had already been allowed to attend their schools. As a result, school operations for girls and boys at this school level began.
Since the Taliban came to power, new rules also apply to universities. It was said that women could continue their education, but only in separate classes from men and in veils. Before that, students were taught in common classes; there were no dress codes.
