AVA - An announcement will be made ‘soon’ on girls’ education

An announcement will be made soon about schools and universities for girls, adding that suitable conditions will be provided for them in order for the education process to resume. Afghanistan’s Minister of Mines and Petroleum said.

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA)_Monitoring, Shahabuddin Delawar, Minister of Mines and Petroleum said: “In the decree of the leader of the Islamic Emirate, the ‘until further notice’ is mentioned and a decision will be made about the schools and universities by the end of March, which will be in accordance with Sharia and Afghan traditions.”

This comes after the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) suspended higher education for girls and women last week.

At the time, the order said female students were barred from university “until further notice”.

Collectively these three decisions sparked a worldwide outcry and countless countries and organizations calling on the IEA to reverse their decisions.
