Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The Taliban closes Afghan girls’ schools hours after reopening
When the Taliban took control of Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001, girls weren’t allowed to attend schools, and women were prohibited to be employed. Last August when it took the power to rule the country again after repelling the US forces, the Taliban government pledged to provide education to girls and job opportunities to women. When schools resumed classes two months later after the Covid-19 closure, only boys and primary school girls were allowed to go back to school. Then about six months later, the Ministry of Education announced that school for all students, including girls, would open from the new school year on March 23. However, when secondary and high school girls went back to their schools, they were told that girls’ high schools would be closed until a plan was made in accordance with Islamic law and Afghan culture. Not knowing how long that planning process will take, those schoolgirls are going to suffer significant learning deficits (Voc. 3638). The Taliban is always talking about Islam. But does Islam say girls shouldn’t be educated?
Read the article and learn about the latest move by still-unstable Afghanistan’s ruling body.
