About your question, I would like to say that
1: One of the reasons the Taliban have closed educational opportunities for girls is to exert pressure on the international community to recognize their government.

2: The factors that led to the Taliban’s increased power and support included their successful seizure of power and acquisition of numerous weapons, significantly enhancing their strength in the region.

3 In my opinion, if the international community reaches an agreement with the Taliban on recognition and continues to persuade them to reopen schools for girls, there is a high possibility that educational institutions for girls will be reopened.

Az I think there are some several reasons which they don’t want to reopen the school doors for girls
The first thing is Beliefs: The Taliban’s strict religious views say women should stay at home.
Second reasons is Control : Keeping women uneducated helps them control society better.
And Culture: Traditional Afghan culture often doesn’t support girls going to school.

I totally agree with you. And also The Taliban have not reopened schools for girls in Afghanistan primarily due to their strict interpretation of Islamic law.They adhere to a traditional belief that a woman’s primary role is within the home.According to their views, extensive education for girls is seen as unnecessary for fulfilling domestic roles.The Taliban also claim they need time to develop an appropriate “Islamic” educational environment.However, many see this as a pretext to restrict female education.

Welcome Hussnia

I would like to answer question one Taliban has different ideas:

  1. The Taliban’s recent move to shut down schools for women is rooted in their rigid interpretation of Islamic law, which prioritizes gender segregation and restricts women’s involvement in public spheres.
  2. The Taliban’s fundamentalist ideology upholds traditional gender norms, curtails women’s educational and professional prospects, and perceives female education as a challenge to their dominance and societal influence.
  3. Through the closure of women’s schools, the Taliban seeks to uphold their conservative values and assert control over social and cultural conventions.

Great Idea, But what do You think what girls should do in this situation ?

I am totally agree with your opinion that Taliban has their own beliefs event their self try to get education and higher education. Nowadays Taliban control Afghanistan but they’re self trying to learn skills. Even nowadays I see that Taliban attend at universities, but their beliefs is wrong and they think if women and girls get higher education they can’t control them.
And other reason is they have traditional beliefs from the past.

Girls should think positive and every problem has solution like;

  1. Families should support their girls to continue their education through online classes.
  2. Community should support girls to create classes in villages and homes.
  3. Girls can make plans for themselves to study at home alone. As well they can use from apps and videos through TVs and YouTube.
  4. An other ways is girls can create groups among themselves they can study in groups.
    As I am using videos and YouTube through my lessons and skills.

From my side, one of the main reasons for the closure of schools and universities is the non-recognition of the Taliban government by the international community. If the Taliban are recognized, the possibility of reopening educational institutions is very high. Also, the Taliban have misconceptions about schools and universities, because they see schools and universities as places where prostitution is promoted and women are not safe there. This view is one of their misconceptions.

Yeah I agree with you

Let me add something
Historically, the Taliban have imposed severe restrictions on women’s freedoms.This approach has led to widespread condemnation.Afghan society largely opposes these restrictions.The international community has also criticized the Taliban’s policies on female education.Human rights organizations argue that education is a fundamental right for all.Many believe that denying education to girls will have long-term negative impacts.It will limit opportunities for Afghan women.It also hinders the country’s overall development.The ongoing situation remains a significant human rights issue, and efforts continue globally to advocate for the reopening of schools for girls in Afghanistan.
