KABUL, 14 January 2022, (TON): The Higher Education Minister said “the government will reopen public universities for male and female students soon, without giving the exact date.
Since the Islamic Emirate came to power, the public universities have remained closed.
Talking to a press conference, Abdul Baqi Haqqani, Minister of Higher Education said that the classes of male and female students would be segregated.
He said “in the coming days, the Afghans will hear the news that the Islamic Emirate will reopen the public universities.”
He cited the economic crisis and the lack of separated classes for male and female students as reasons for the delay.
Haqqani pledged that the government would form an international university.
He said “we also plan to establish an international university. The university will include Shariah, Medical, Agriculture and Engineering programs. Masters and PhD degrees will be offered in these four areas.”
