RASC: Recently, a religious school was opened in Kabul province for the purpose of educating women and girls, and this school has 400 students and is the only hope for girls who do not want their education to stop.
The leadership of this school is under the leadership of the “Supreme Council of Afghanistan Imami Ulama”; A council that wants to open religious schools for girls.
Mohammad Hussain Jafari, the head of this council, says: “Learning science in Islam is a worship, and the religion of Islam has paid special attention to education and science, for this reason, we have prepared a field for Afghanistani girls to learn science in the field of science and education.” In this school, religious and Quranic sciences will be taught to girls by female professors. The purpose of creating special schools for girls is to teach them religious sciences.
Narges was an eighth grade student who lost the opportunity to study when the Taliban came. She says: “I could not go to school with the arrival of the Taliban group. The school environment is different from the religious school. I am happy a place where I can learn something. “Learning and education is a right given to us by God himself, and I hope the Taliban will also pay attention to this national desire of our girls.”
The Taliban group does not allow girls above the sixth grade to go to school, and the gates of universities are also closed to girls.
Girls can only continue their education in religious schools that are supervised and managed by the Taliban group.
Zainab, a student, said: “In order not to forget my lessons and to have a better future, I have registered here.”
Frishta Mohammadi, another student of this school who came to this school with the encouragement of her family, said: “We read the Quran here and I encourage other families to send their daughters to this school.”
In these schools, mostly religious subjects are taught, and by closing the schools to women and girls, they consider these schools to be the only option for the continuation of their education. Nevertheless, the main desire of these girls is to reopen schools and universities.
