It was one of the fears of Afghan women: having to give up their studies with the return of the Taliban. Eventually, they will be able to go to university, but with many constraints.
The interim Minister of Higher Education made several proposals, among others on single-sex. For him, universities must have the capacity to accommodate girls on the one hand and boys on the other. “If this is not the case, it will be necessary to adapt the time slots with specific slots so that they do not intersect or finally be able to separate a class into two. “, specifies Abdul Baqi Haqqani.
Single sex and Islamic outfits
During a press conference on Sunday, Abdul Baqi Haqqani said that if women will be allowed to continue their studies even at postgraduate level, they will have to adopt new codes that also include compulsory full Islamic attire.
“Abdul Baqi Haqqani did not specify whether women should cover their faces while in class but said some classes should also be revisited although he did not explain what exactly would change in the curriculum. studying here in Afghanistan. “, according to our correspondent Anelise Borges.
“Do not go back 20 years”
The Taliban have already banned women from playing sports and said playing music should not be encouraged. The international community has watched very closely to what extent the Taliban have actually changed, especially with regard to their attitude towards women. Thereupon, the minister said that the group does not want to go back twenty years but is trying to build on what already exists here in Afghanistan today.
