Taliban Asks Iran To Train Afghan Higher Education Staff Members

Nazar Mohammad Irfan, the director of foreign relations and scholarships of the Taliban’s Ministry of Higher Education, asked Iran to provide training for staff members of higher education centers and other employees of the Taliban.

The Ministry of Higher Education of the Taliban on Saturday said that during Irfan’s visit to Iran, he met the officials of the Diplomacy Center of the Islamic Republic.

Irfan told the Iranian authorities that cooperation in higher education is more favourable under the Taliban than during the previous Afghan government.

It is said that the officials of Iran's diplomacy center committed to cooperating with the Taliban in higher education.

The Taliban officials discuss cooperation arrangements with regional countries such as Iran on higher education, while there is no development on when the group will allow higher education for Afghan girls and women in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, secondary and higher secondary schools remain closed for Afghan girls despite international pressure on the Taliban to allow Afghan girls their right to education.
