Since Afghanistan‘s take over by the Taliban and its imposition of a myriad of restrictions on women, some Afghan boys have avoided getting to school in solidarity with the women of the country who haven’t yet been called back to high school .
As boys made their thanks to the school rooms , some boys stayed back home asserting that ladies structure half the society and that they won’t show up at college until schools for women are open too, reported the Wall Street Journal Women structure half the society… i will be able to not show up at college until girls’ schools are open too,” Rohullah, an 18-year-old student of sophistication 12, was quoted as saying by WSJ.
The Taliban education ministry on Friday ordered the reopening of boys’ secondary schools while the reopening of girl’s schools was still shrouded in mystery. “All male teachers and students should attend their educational institutions,” a press release , issued late Friday, stated Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid told the local Bakhtar press agency on Saturday that arrangements were being made to reopen girls’ secondary schools but he gave no date.
Talking to Reuters, an educator at a personal school in Kabul informed of a number of changes that were made before reopening the faculties . “Girls study within the morning and boys within the afternoon. Male teachers teach boys and feminine teachers teach girls,” said the teacher. Some teachers said that girls who are low in spirits are still contemplating if they need to resume school The education of women is fixing a generation. The education of boys may affect a family but the education of women affects society,” said the school’s principal, Mohammadreza. “We are very closely following the matter in order that girls can resume their education and complete their studies.”
Meanwhile, the UN expressed that it’s ‘deeply worried’ for the longer term of girls’ schooling in Afghanistan. “It is critical that each one girls, including older girls, are ready to resume their education with none further delays. For that, we’d like female teachers to resume teaching,” Unicef said Though, the Taliban have said they’re going to not enforce the fundamentalist policies like their last rule, the longer term of women’s rights and freedom in Afghanistan still remains questionable.
