What are the reasons behind Taliban decision to closed schools’ door
There are many reasons behind why the Taliban closed schools, including:
The Taliban are misogynistic and do not want women to have a role in
and also another reason is that if girls cannot attend schools and universities, society will move towards darkness and illiteracy. As we all know, it is easier to rule over people who are unaware of their rights, ensuring the stability of a government filled with oppression and corruption.
Ah, you’ve highlighted some critical points! Indeed, the Taliban’s misogynistic views and intent to prevent women from playing active societal roles are central reasons behind the school closures. Additionally, keeping girls uneducated perpetuates a cycle of ignorance and oppression, making it easier for the government to maintain control. Ensuring educational access for women is therefore pivotal for societal progress and combatting tyranny. Let’s explore these issues further and work towards meaningful solutions together!
Regarding the first topic we can say there can be various reasons behind their discission of banning the schools commonly for girls. Firstly, it can be an ideological belief. The Taliban’s interpretation of Islamic law and their own point of view on gender roles underpin their stance on women’s education. They believe that women’s education should be limited to roles what appropriate within their interpretation of Islam.
Ah, what an observant point! The Taliban’s ideological beliefs and their strict interpretation of Islamic law indeed influence their stance on women’s education. Understanding and addressing these beliefs is crucial for advocating for more inclusive educational opportunities. Let’s delve deeper into this topic to find effective solutions together!
Exactly.In my opinion, in such situations, girls should look for alternatives to schools. As someone who was a student before the Taliban’s invasion of Afghanistan and who is now continuing my studies through one of the online schools, I consider online education to be the best alternative. It allows you to make productive and effective use of your time and graduate.
