Taliban again took a dramatic turn of events, the Taliban government declared the closure of secondary schools for girls on Wednesday, just hours after they gave the order to reopen schools for girls for the first time since last August when the Islamic movement seized power in the country for a second time.

And this news is 100 percent confirmed, and it is confirmed by the Taliban spokesperson ‘Inamullah Samangani‘ after the order led to confusion among the students.

The sudden move by the government is likely to spark fresh concerns over girls’ education in the war-torn nation; while capturing the nation’s power, the Taliban promised the nation that they would take care of women’s rights and children and minorities’ rights.

To fulfil these promises, the government, in September 2021, allowed some schools for girls, up to class 6, to reopen, and they also gave a permit to women that they are allowed to go to universities. However, high schools for female students remained closed, and the Islamic emirate declared that classes for all girls would resume at the earliest.’

Accordingly, in their order declaring the reopening of schools for girls, the Taliban announced educational institutes would reopen from March 23 in several regions, including the capital Kabul. However, the order also noted that schools in Kandahar–the group’s ‘spiritual heartland’ will not open until April.

According to the spokesperson’s statement, we are reopening schools not to spread happiness in the global community nor to gain any kind of recognition from the world.

Earlier, the Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, after which they were pushed away by the US-led forces who arrived here in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. US troops fully exited the country in August last year.
