Reopening of public universities in Afghanistan.
After months of closure of Afghan public universities, the Taliban announced the reopening of these training centers with male and female students.
The Taliban Ministry of Higher Education announced that from today (Saturday, March 28), Afghan public universities will be reopened to all male and female students after a long break of several months.
This is the first time since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan that students across Afghanistan can go to universities. Kabul University, Afghanistan’s largest university, is scheduled to reopen to students today.
The Taliban have also issued instructions for the reopening of Afghan universities, the most important of which are observing the Islamic hijab, not holding mixed classes, and not having a mobile phone.
Previously, male and female students in Afghan universities attended classes together; However, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Higher Education, the classrooms for male and female students have been set separately.
One of the items in the new plan of the Taliban Ministry of Higher Education is the turn of male and female student classes. According to the plan, the female students’ classes will start at 8:00 AM and end at 11:15 AM. The start time for male students is set from 12:15 to 3:40 p.m.
Afghan universities, meanwhile, are facing a shortage of professors, and some professors emigrated after the Taliban took control of the country.
Recently, the Taliban Ministry of Higher Education asked Afghan university professors to return to their country and assured them that they would pay all their spiritual and economic benefits.
Afghanistan’s public universities have been closed for the past six months following the Taliban take power in Afghanistan, and the Taliban have repeatedly stated that they will be allowed to operate public universities after a review.
