Girls are desperately waiting for the day they can return to school. But even if that happens, Afghanistan’s education system has been poisoned beyond recognition.
Afghan religious scholars Saturday criticized a ban on female education, as a key Taliban minister warned clerics not to rebel against the government on the controversial issue.
Calling girls' education a 'primary concern' for the Afghan people, he added that education is the foundation of a country's well-being, not only for Afghanistan but for every other society.
Despite initially promising a more moderate rule and women s and minority rights, the Taliban have widely implemented their harsh interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia.
