KABUL, 08 August 2022, (TON): Facing international and domestic pressure over the closure of girls' schools above the sixth grade, Ministry of Education officials now say that issues with the girls' educational curriculum are the cause for the delay in reopening girls' schools.
The deputy minister said “the decision to close girls' schools isn't just related to the Ministry of Education, it's also linked to the Islamic Emirate's policy of opening girls' schools in accordance with Islamic principles.”
Saeed Ahmad Shahidkhail, the deputy of the ministry said “in the light of Quran and Sunnah the schools will be reopened. They should give the Islamic Emirate time, they will reopen.”
He added “they intend to include the studies of ethics, belief, family life, child raising, and husbandry in the curricula for girls, and that one day the schools will reopen for female students free from outside pressure and within the framework of Islamic Sharia.”
