KABUL (Pajhwok): Some officials and political analyst want girls’ schools above sixth grade to reopen immediately, saying their closure is not in the ‘interest of the government.
Many people say the Afghan culture is not against girls’ education and if there is any problem in creating a mechanism for female students to return to classes, the Islamic Emirate should seek people’s assistance.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has urged the United Nations Human Rights Council to force the Taliban to act responsibly with regard to girls’ education.
In March, the Taliban shut all secondary schools for girls -- hours after reopening . . .
