Determined to pursue education even after the Taliban has put roadblocks, girls from secondary schools continued their education at personal levels, at home and with their classmates, media reports said.This comes as the Taliban which took over Kabul in August last year banned secondary schools for girls. Since the ban, they have continued their rhetoric that they will announce a new mechanism for the return of girls to secondary schools however no development in this aspect has taken place.However, the positive side of the story is that girls in Afghanistan despite the given circumstances continue their education. Amid school closure by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, they have resorted to studying at home and with their fellow mates, reported Tolo News.However, the girls said they are not sure about having a promising future due to being away from schooling."They always say that it starts this month or the next month. They deceive us and we want them to inform us correctly when the schools will reopen. Why should we be deprived of schooling?" asked Yalda, a student."We came here because we have witnessed that many girls have faced psychological problems for being away from school. We come here to study and learn something to become an effective person in future," said Arezo, another student.The students asked the Islamic Emirate to reopen schools as soon as possible."We ask the Islamic Emirate to reopen schools for all girls so that we can continue our education," said Sana, a student."They (officials) should understand the situation of those girls who are away from school and are disappointed. We should get educated and make progress in our country," said Sahar, another student.Meanwhile, the adviser to the Ministry of Energy and Water, Farooq Azam, said during a press conference that if girls' schools are not reopened, the international community will not recognize the Islamic Emirate in the next 20 years."If this problem is not resolved, the Islamic Emirate won't be recognized by the West in 20 years. The Emirate is having this issue. Girls have a right to education, and you should find a mechanism to provide it in whatever clothing and according to Islamic principles," Azam said. "If this continues, it will cause the closure of universities as well because it will break the chain and girls will no longer be able to continue their higher education," said Khadija Siddiqi, a women's rights activist.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
