Following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, the Taliban’s determination to prohibit co-education resulted in university classrooms being divided.
“Partition in University Classrooms after Taliban announced that male and female students should not be in the same classroom,” Pajhwok Afghan News wrote on Twitter.
The classroom is divided by a curtain, creating a separating wall between the boys and girls, according to a photograph shared on Twitter by the Afghan news agency.
The Taliban stated previously at a meeting with university academics, private institution owners, and the Taliban that there is no alternative or justification for continuing with co-education, and that it must be ended.
In schools, boys and girls have separate courses, while government and private colleges are co-educational.
Separate classrooms can be managed at public universities and institutions, but it is more challenging in private colleges due to the lower number of female students.
Many individuals have criticised this decision, which would deny girls access to higher education because major colleges in the country cannot afford to offer various programmes due to a lack of funding.
Taliban higher education minister Baqi Haqqani announced during a speech at the Loya Jirga Tent that Sharia Law will regulate all educational activities in the country.
