Taliban greenlights school reopening for Afghan male students between grades six and 12 as workers in Kabul replace signs for Women's Ministry with those for the group's moral police
Taliban's education ministry has ordered all male students of grade six to 12 and male teachers to resume classes across Afghanistan, starting on Saturday.
Since taking over power last month, the Taliban had allowed girls in grades one to six to resume classes. When they ruled Afghanistan previously in the 1990s, the Taliban had forbidden girls and women from attending school and work. Workers in the Afghan capital Kabul replaced signs for the country's women's ministry with those for the Taliban's moral police, as female former employees of the department said they had been locked out of the building.
Female employees said they had been trying to come to work for several weeks only to be told to return to their homes, according to videos filmed outside the building seen by Reuters.Afghan universities welcome students in the new Taliban eraSeveral posts have appeared on Twitter in the last 24 hours showing women workers from the ministry protesting outside the building, saying they had lost their jobs.
