KABUL (Pajhwok): Hezb-i-Islami Afghanistan (HIA) supreme leader Gubuddin Hekmatyar has said creating proper environment for girls’ education is the government’s responsibility and inappropriate environment is no justification for banning their education.
The Higher Education Ministry suspended women’s higher education on Dec 20 until further notice, asking all private and government universities to implement the Cabinet’s decision with immediate effect.
Hekmatyar during Friday’s sermon said the ban on girls’ education triggered severe domestic and international backlash.
He said people were expecting that high schools for girls would be reopened and they did not expect a . . .
