women in Afghanistan access to the university is prohibited for an indefinite period. This was announced by the Taliban authorities in a letter from the Ministry of Higher Education sent to all public and private universities in the country.
“They are recommended to implement the order to suspend women’s education until further notice,” it says in the text signed by Minister Neda Mohammad Nadeem.

The letter has been circulating on social media since the ministry’s spokesman, Ziaulah Hashimi, tweeted it.
This decision further restricts women’s access to higher education, as they were already excluded from most secondary schools.

After the Taliban seized power last year, universities introduced gender-segregated classrooms and entrances. Female students could only be taught by female teachers or older men.
Just three months ago, women in Afghanistan took their university entrance exams, with certain majors barred. (YO)
