Taliban Education Minister Urges World To Realise Responsibility of War-Torn Afghanistan
In a meeting with Roza Otunbayeva, the UN Special Representative in Afghanistan, Habibullah Agha Taliban’s education minister urged the world to realise their responsibility of a war-torn Afghanistan. Agha said that Taliban had impressive achievements in the educational sector.
The Minister of Education of the Taliban has spoken about the progress in the education sector of Afghanistan, while the group has deprived millions of Afghan girls of their right to education and work.
The ministry of education of the Taliban in a statement has quoted the UN special representative in Afghanistan as saying that the UN unconditionally helps Afghanistan's education sector.
This is while the international community has repeatedly called for the reopening of schools and universities for Afghan girls and women in Afghanistan.
However, the Taliban has ignored the international calls and domestic protests of Afghans for their right to education of Afghan girls.
On Wednesday, the Ministry of Higher Education of the Taliban announced that universities will reopen for men in Afghanistan in the second week of March while the group has remained silent on girls’ education.
Earlier, some Taliban officials had indicated that they will provide a solution regarding the education of girls in the next academic year.
