KABUL (Pajhwok): The private universities union says most of the universities risk closure following the Higher Ministry Education’s ban on girls’ entrance exams.
Two days ago, the Ministry of Higher Education directed private universities and higher educational institutes to postpone registering girls for the university entrance test until further notice.
Mohammad Karim Nasiri, media manager of the private universities’ union, said the curbs on female university students and private universities would have consequences and had created problems.
According to him, there are 140 private universities with about 200,000 students in 24 provinces and 35 percent of them are . . .
