Every item against Islam to be removed from education: Taliban

The Taliban has vowed to remove "every item against Islam" from the Afghanistan education system.

The Taliban is planning to free the Afghan education system of "every item against Islam" stoking fears that the insurgent group might once again impose an extremist rule as opposed to claims of forming a moderate and inclusive government. Interim higher education minister Abdul Baqi Haqqani criticised the present education system saying that it failed to adhere to Islamic principles.
