Taliban orders private universities not to allow female students to sit entrance exams
The Taliban-run Ministry of Higher Education ordered private universities in Afghanistan to not allow female students to sit for entrance exams next month, underscoring his policy of restricting women from higher education.
Ministry letter he was addressing institutions in the northern provinces of Afghanistan, including Kabul, where the exams are to be held from the end of February. The letter said institutions that did not follow the rules would face legal sanctions.
The Ministry of Higher Education in December called on universities not to allow participation in female students “until younger”. Days later, the administration banned most female NGO workers from working. Most girls’ high schools have also been closed by the authorities.
Restrictions on women’s work and education ehave provoked international condemnation. Western diplomats have pointed out that the Taliban will have to change course on their policies towards women to have a chance of official international recognition and easing their economic isolation.
