The Taliban-led government will soon reopen universities across the country for both male and female students, but classes will be separate for boys and girls, a Minister said here.<\/p>\n
Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in August 2021, universities have remained shut, TOLO News reported.<\/p>\n
Minister of Higher Education Abdul Baqi Haqqani made the remarks while speaking to the media yesterday, without however giving an exact date for the reopening.<\/p>\n
The Minister blamed the ongoing economic crisis and the lack of segregated classes for male and female students as reasons for the delay in reopening the universities.<\/p>\n
He also claimed that the Taliban would form an international university, which will include “Shariah, Medical, Agriculture and Engineering programs. Masters and PhD degrees will be offered in these four areas”.<\/p>\n
According to Haqqani, some regional countries pledged to provide educational scholarships for the Afghan students.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some university students said they have been living in uncertainty for the past six months since the shutdown, TOLO News reported.<\/p>\n
“These six months were a long period and will affect the student’s motivation,” said Matiullah Pirozi, a student.<\/p>\n
“We are shocked that they cannot form a scheme in six months. The scheme could be easily formed,” said Mohammad Hilal, another student.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
