Activist and founder of the Afghan Women’s Network, Mahouba Seraj, was confused by the reversed decisions to put girls in school.

Many of the girls have been looking forward to resuming school like their male counterparts

Seraj said to the news agency that the Taliban’s only excuse was that the hijab was no longer proper for female students.

She admitted that girls’ uniform in Afghanistan usually fully covers them.

BBC News earlier reported that the Taliban pulled down a deliberation to permit Afghan girls to go back to schools because further decisions are to be made on the uniforms they have to wear.

The Taliban took power last August and had been making preparations to open a school for everyone when the ministry of education suddenly declared that girls’ secondary schools would not be open.

Female students wept as parents showed their displeasure at the news.

The decision to cancel girls’ resumption is coming a week after an announcement that schools for all students would be open all across the country by Wednesday.

According to the latest notice cancelling girls’ resumption just hours after they have opened school;

“We inform all girls’ high schools and those schools that [have] female students above class six that they are off until the next order”.

It further stated that schools would be allowing girls in after a decision over their uniforms which was to be styled by ‘Sharia law and Afghan tradition’.

A lot of Afghan parents and female students are angry at the latest news.

The International request made was that the Taliban grant girls the right to education before the Taliban can get international assistance.

Mahouba Seraj said she would rather strict sanctions are placed on them if they did not heed:

“What I want to hear from them and see from them is for them to stand fast and say ‘okay, this is what you decided to do? Well, this is what we have decided to do: no recognition, no money. Period!'”
