The Taliban’s education ministry has ordered male students and male teachers to resume classes across Afghanistan, starting on Saturday.
The Taliban wrote in a Facebook post on Friday that, starting the following day, male students in grades six through 12 and male teachers should return to school. The post noticeably left out similarly aged girls, though those in grades one through six have been allowed to return to the classroom since the Taliban took over.
Although the Taliban has promised that women will be allowed to pursue their education and have their own careers, in some of the provinces, women still are not allowed to continue their work, with exceptions for women who have worked in health departments, hospitals and education.
