The owners of private schools and universities in Afghanistan’s
capital Kabul have complained that they have lost 60 per cent of
their students amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the
country. This comes as the new educational year has just begun
across Afghanistan, according to Khaama Press. The owners said
that the ongoing humanitarian crisis and economic situation in the
country have adversely affected the livelihood, thus most of the
families have changed their children to study in public schools,
Khaama Press reported. Meanwhile, owners of private universities
in Afghanistan also complain about the number of students quitting
studying.
Earlier, the Taliban regime issued a decree banning female
students above grade six from participating in their classes. The
girls were further told to stay home until the Islamic Emirate
announces its next decision. Dozens of female students in
Afghanistan’s capital city of Kabul took to the streets demanding
the Taliban regime to withdraw its decision to ban girls from
attending school above the sixth grade. Chanting the slogans of
“education is our absolute right,” the protestors called for the
reopening of schools
for girls
in grades 7-12 across
Afghanistan, Tolo News reported.
