KABUL: Schools in Afghanistan opened for the new academic year on Wednesday, the education ministry said, with girls banned from joining secondary-level classes for the third year in a row.

Taliban authorities barred girls from secondary school in March 2022, after surging back to power in mid-2021 and ousting the Western-backed government.

The education ministry announced the new school year on Tuesday, a day before the start of the Afghan calendar’s new year.

“The new school year… will start in all provinces with the ringing of the school bell at a ceremony” in Kabul, the announcement said.

Women journalists were expressly forbidden from covering the ceremony in an invite issued to media outlets.

The Taliban government has imposed an austere interpretation of Islam, with women bearing the brunt of curbs the United Nations has labelled “gender apartheid”.

Government universities also recently started the new academic year, but women have been blocked from attending since December 2022.
Taliban are idiotic and don't know what it takes to run a country.
 
don't care, didn't read.
Don't presume to know what I know and what I don't. It's not your place to teach me anything. Know your place..

If you're so critical of the western system you can get your ass to your islamic utopia that is Afghanistan.

Looks like fucking paradise.


to Everyone:
If you're reading this, and you're an immigrant in a western country don't come talk to me about how great sharia is. You already made your statement by immigrating, You'll only make yourself look like a clown.

If there's an actual taliban member in this forum (which I highly doubt) I'm willing to listen. Otherwise don't @ me.
Post-colonial brain rot right here. What would you know of principles except for ethnic-nationalist cancer. Pure barbarianism.

. You already made your statement by immigrating, You'll only make yourself look like a clown.
Here, you responded to yourself:
Don't presume to know what I know and what I don't. It's not your place to teach me anything. Know your place..

You'll also love this

Take a chill pill and re-evaluate, principles vs practice, historical contexts and source of morality.

Mate, we should rise above ethnic nationalism. Refer back to my previous post. What does ethnic nationalism reduce down to, and is that not immoral? And the irony of you making accusations yet founder of the modern Turkish Republic saw Westernisation = Progressivism! How can you argue against this fact.

That’s why I said, cool down and look at the facts. This tunnel-visioning, hyper-ethnic nationalism is extremely unhealthy. Please, see how the alternative has much better principles.

Current Afghan regime have alluded to a ‘decolonisation’ process of their educational system. Whilst this can be critiqued, on what principles is the Western way absolutely the best should also be evaluated.

why do you need to keep bringing up extreme western feminism when we are talking about the Taliban banning young girls from receiving basic education

they are not related topics. if you want to defend such a barbaric rule then do it honestly

I think you have the wrong person 🙂
Please see my other posts for my informed speculation regarding the rationale for Afghan regime’s actions. I have in no way said it is immune from criticism.

yes yes, become multicultural trash.

No thank you. I am Turkish, my grandchildren will be Turkish. My land, my family, my blood will always be Turkish.

All I have for you is pity. "post colonial brain rot" as you said

At least you are honest, but please just ponder sometime if your way is moral, fair and just. Based on the evidence I have seen, it absolutely is not. Ethnic nationalism is an immoral, evil cancer. I hope you can see that Truth. I want the best for Türkiye, even if you do not want me to want anything for it 🙂

Afghan regime should also recognise that.
 
I want the best for Türkiye, even if you do not want me to want anything for it 🙂
🤣 I laughed out loud at this. A british immigrant wants the best for my country 😃

why don't you mind your own country pal? Oh wait no, you abandoned it. You abandon the land of your ancestors and you hold onto an ideology to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside :D
 
This was totally expected...zero suprise to anyone. Absolutely normal Taliban behaviour. Anyone who thought differently is foolish.

It’s a pity you don’t know what’s best for you. Thankfully, there are many other Turks who do and disavow this cancerous, dangerous Kemalist ideology.

Kemalists abandoned centuries of Turkish history to adhere to a concoction to please your ideological subjugators.

Evaluate the principles before the practice.

By the way, why are you on a Pakistani forum when you have such pity for Pakistanis? Don’t you have the guts to openly critique Pakistan’s founding ideology outright here?

Relevance to discussion: Afghanistan also struggles with ethnic nationalism. Ridiculing their current state of affairs is a ridiculous disregard of historical context.

Girls banned from school, female journalists banned from covering news stories, and get this... Female doctors are banned from working in UN or NGO operated clinics in the country. 85% of all health centers are run by NGOs in Afghanistan...

Hussain bro (@hussain0216) offers a middle way out for conservative Muslim societies like Afghanistan. First it must build a womens education system and ethos which is devoid of Western delusions then only it invest heavily in womens education. So you eventually get a society which has the benefit of both educated women as well as a stable societal structure

Someone else here made a useful suggestion that in the interim, Afghanistan could experiment with all girls schools with all female teaching staff.

We don't need your dog shit ideology of a parasite living in britain.
@Waz @Musings apparently we're parasites
i totally understand bros, it's important to have the other side. but check through and see, he is not discussing in good faith or rationally. let not the spectre of an "exodus" as with the previous forum hang over forum quality. there a plenty of good-natured among his comrades to replace him.

You think you can come here and trash talk senior members? You won't last long here with this attitude.
you are not commenting with the maturity of a senior. unless you mean only as forum ranking, in which case i would be too if i kept my original ID from old forum and upped my post count with unworthwhile contributions.
