Taliban Suspends University Education for Afghan women #IndiaNEWSAll #International
In a move that will have a damaging effect on the welfare of female population of Afghanistan, Taliban regime has ordered an indefinite ban on university education for the country’s women. The order was issued by the ministry of higher education in a letter issued to all government and private universities.
“You all are informed to implement the mentioned order of suspending education of females until further notice,” said the letter signed by the minister for higher education, Neda Mohammad Nadeem.
The ban on higher education comes less than three months after thousands of girls and women sat university entrance exams across the country, with many aspiring to choose engineering and medicine as future careers.
After the takeover of Afghanistan by the hardline Islamists in August last year, universities were forced to implement new rules including gender-segregated classrooms and entrances, and women were only permitted to be taught by female professors or old men.
Most Afghan teenage girls have already been banned from secondary school education, severely limiting university intake.
