Several girls’ madrassas in Kabul have been shut down for teaching schools’ textbooks and offering foreign language classes, sources in the Taliban’s Ministry of Education told Amu.

According to the sources, the Taliban will no longer renew licenses for existing girls’ madrassas and will not issue permits for new ones.

Since returning to power in August 2021, the Taliban have imposed sweeping restrictions on female education. In 2022, they closed girls’ middle and high schools, and later that year barred women from universities.
