The Taliban have stated that those who have graduated from high school during the past twenty years Afghanistan are of no use, said the report in the country’s local media. The Taliban was referring to graduates who had studied during the non-Taliban era, when insurgent forces were fighting the US-backed governments of Hamid Karzai and Ashraf Ghani.
The Taliban’s acting minister of higher education, Abdul Baqi Haqqani, said those graduating from high school between 2000-2020 are of no use. In a meeting with the lecturers of the university in Kabul, he said that they should appoint such teachers who can inculcate the values instilled in the country and their talents in the future in Afghanistan to the students and future generations, ANI told ANI.

Haqqani also emphasized that holders of master’s and PhD degrees in modern studies are less valuable than those who have studied in madrassas and religious studies in Afghanistan.
For Afghanistan, the last two decades are considered one of the most important and prosperous eras in the level of education in the country.
Earlier, the Taliban had also banned girls from attending secondary schools. Teenage Afghan girls were not allowed to return to school as classes reopened across the country in September for the first time since the Taliban came to power in August.
The education ministry’s statement did not mention girls, which is a de facto restriction on their attending secondary school for now. The Taliban have allowed girls up to grade six to attend school, but they will be taught in separate classes from boys.

Some private universities have also been allowed to open classes for girls, though most of the girl students stay indoors out of fear. The universities of Afghanistan are controlled by a separate ministry from the Ministry of Education.
