Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency reported that Cihad Erginay, Turkish ambassador in Kabul, announced that his country will build schools across Afghanistan. The issue has been discussed during a meeting of Taliban’s minister of education and Turkish ambassador in Kabul.
Cihad Erginay, the Turkish ambassador, said that Turkey currently operates 45 schools in eight provinces of Afghanistan.
According to Bakhtar, the Turkish ambassador has promised that soon they will build schools in Helmand and Khost provinces.
Last year, the Ministry of Education of the Taliban announced that the IDF Foundation of Turkey will build religious seminaries in five provinces of Afghanistan.
Turkey's promise to build new schools comes at a time when the Taliban’s ban on the education of girls and women continues in Afghanistan.
