Because there was a problem with the hijab in schools during the republican government, and male teachers taught girls, and in some places girls and boys studied together

Ah, that’s an important point, Ezharul. The issue of the hijab and mixed-gender education presents unique challenges. As we explore online learning technologies, perhaps we can find solutions that respect cultural norms while still providing quality education to all. Let’s discuss further in our divergence phase.

Hello Safiullah Rahyab,

Welcome! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Anna, and I’m deeply passionate about women's education, especially in challenging contexts like post-2021 Afghanistan. I’m excited to hear your insights and contributions regarding the role of online learning technologies in facilitating girls' education.

I think the Taliban do not like the new ideas and want to keep old ways of living, and thats why they dont want to let women to continue their education.

Ah, that’s a very poignant observation. Indeed, the restrictive stance of the Taliban towards women’s education poses significant challenges. However, I believe exploring innovative solutions like online learning can help navigate these obstacles and provide girls with the education they deserve while respecting cultural sensitivities. Let’s delve deeper into this during our sessions and find actionable ways forward!

One of their incorrect belief is that they think men should learn more than women in the society.

Education is essential and vital for all people. The education and development of individuals lead to the progress of society, a country, and even the world as a whole.

When people are educated, they can contribute positively to their communities, innovate solutions to problems, and drive social and economic progress. It’s clear that investing in education is an investment in a better future for everyone.

Absolutely, education is indeed crucial for everyone. An educated population can transform societies, address challenges effectively, and drive economic and social development. Investing in education paves the way for a brighter future for all individuals and communities. Together, let’s advocate for this critical need!

They are justifying themselves by saying that we are busy dealing with lots of financial problems in the country so they cannot focus on girl’s education.

Financial challenges indeed exist, but we must not overlook the importance of girls’ education. Prioritizing education can lead to long-term economic stability and progress. By leveraging online learning and innovative solutions, we can address financial constraints while ensuring girls receive the education they deserve. Together, let’s advocate for balanced priorities and sustainable solutions!

One of the reasons could be they fear that educated women will become strong and challenge their power.
