Universities reopen under Taliban
Some public universities opened in Afghanistan on Wednesday for the first time since the Taliban seized power in August, with a trickle of women attending classes that officials said would be segregated by sex.
Most secondary schools for girls and all public universities were shuttered when the hardline Islamist group stormed back to power, sparking fears women would again be barred from education — as happened during the Taliban’s first rule.
“It’s a moment of joy for us that our classes have started,” Zarlashta Haqmal, who studies at Nangarhar University.
