Former Afghan president Hamid Karzai regretted the closure of medical institutes for girls and asked the Taliban to immediately reverse this ban and reopen schools and universities for girls.
Karzai emphasised that education is the only factor of Afghanistan's growth and development in different dimensions.
The former president of Afghanistan said that this country will overcome the need for outsiders, salvation, and internal problems when it has specialised and trained human resources.
He published a statement on Wednesday and said that Afghanistan will be saved from external needs when the field of education and learning of sciences is available for all young people - for both boys and girls.
Hamid Karzai wrote, "It is very sad to hear the news that the doors of medical science institutions are closed to girls, at a time when women and mothers are facing many health problems in all parts of the country."
He asked the Taliban to immediately reverse the decision to ban girls from studying in medical institutions and to open the gates of schools and universities to them as soon as possible.
Karzai said that banning the education of girls and women wastes the talent of Afghanistan's youth as national capital.
He emphasised that Afghanistan will be on the path of settlement and prosperity only in the light of education.
