KABUL (Pajhwok): Teachers, civil society and women rights activists at a gathering on Sunday expressed concern over the closure of girls schools above class six and demanded their prompt resumption.
Earlier, the acting government had pledged to reopen all schools nationwide on March 25, but the Ministry of Education suddenly ordered closure of high schools for girls.
The Education Ministry in a statement had said whenever a proper uniform in line with Islamic Sharia and Afghan culture was designed and approved, then the Islamic Emirate leadership will allow the resumption of girls schools above class sixth.
