Afghanistan Women Can’t Take University Entrance Exam – Taliban Warn

by time news

Since the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, various restrictions have been imposed against women. Various countries are condemning these actions which take away the freedom of women.

In this case, the Taliban government banned women from studying in private and public universities. The Taliban government’s Minister of Higher Education, Nida Mohammad Nadeem, argued that the ban was necessary to prevent gender mixing in universities. He also noted that some subjects were against Islamic principles.

He had said that work was underway to rectify these issues and once they were rectified the universities would be reopened for women.

Senior UN Officials traveled to Afghanistan twice this month. At that time, they urged to stop the abuse of power which takes away the rights of women. Thus, it led to the belief that the Taliban could move to reverse their order at any time.

But the Taliban government further strengthened the prohibition against women. In other words, it has been said aggressively that women will not be able to write entrance exams in universities. Higher Education Ministry Spokesperson Ziaullah Hashmi today said that a reminder letter has been sent to private universities not to allow women to write the entrance exam.

Women are not allowed to take part in the entrance examination for Bachelor’s, Master’s and Ph.D. The letter also warned that legal action would be taken against any university violating the order.

University entrance exams in Afghanistan were set to begin on Sunday in some provinces. Elsewhere, while it was said to start on February 27, the government’s order has disturbed them.
