The Taliban has announced that it will open secondary schools for girls in Afghanistan from next week. Reuters quoted a spokesman for the country's education ministry as saying.
This has reduced the months-long uncertainty over whether girls will be able to study in secondary school. However, there will be separate classrooms and teachers for female students, he said. The ministry said older male teachers could teach girls in areas where there was a shortage of female teachers.
Since the Taliban took control of Kabul last year, uncertainty over the country's higher education for female students has begun. The international community has been pressuring the Taliban government to send girls back to school.
