The education of women, according to Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is crucial to the growth of any administration. Hasina continued by saying that her administration will bring Bangladesh’s women along in its transformation into a developed country.
The education of women cannot be stopped in the name of Islam, Sheikh Hasina rebuked the Afghan administration.
The Taliban regime in Afghanistan, which has been under fire from around the world for imposing numerous restrictions including a prohibition on women’s education, has recently permitted females to enroll in public and private primary schools.
The Taliban’s Ministry of Education announced in early January that it will now permit girls to continue their studies up to sixth grade.
But there is a catch to the announcement. Taliban requested that schools and education centers be opened for girls under the sixth grade and that all students dress according to Islamic dress.
Although the judgment gives Afghan girls some hope, the ban on women’s education in middle and high school as well as the country’s limits on the majority of jobs for women continue to be in force.
The Taliban regime stepped up its campaign against women’s education last month, with the higher education ministry declaring an indefinite ban on women attending universities in Afghanistan.
Also prohibited by the dictatorship are girls attending middle and high school, most jobs for women, and even going outside in public without wearing head-to-toe attire.
In addition to being prohibited from accessing parks and gyms, women are also not permitted to travel without a male relative.
