New Delhi, Feb 2 As per the announcement of Afghanistan's Ministry of Higher education, public universities are set to reopen on Wednesday (February 2).

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in a Twitter post applauded the move as crucial, saying that every young person has equal access to education.

"UN welcomes the announcement that public universities will begin re-opening 2 February to all female and male students," said the Twitter post of UNAMA.

Based on the announcement of the Ministry of Higher education of Afghanistan, universities in non-tropical provinces will resume in March while the new educational year in all provinces is supposed to begin in April, reported Khaama Press.
