The Taliban’s technical education department has issued an official directive halting the education of girls over the age of 12 at the Kabul Deaf Institute and barring families from sending them to the school.<\/p>\n
The decision comes as the Kabul Deaf Institute was one of the few specialized educational centres for deaf children and teenagers in Afghanistan, a move that has extended educational restrictions on girls to children with disabilities.<\/p>\n
Families and social activists have described the Taliban department’s action as a serious blow to girls’ right to education, particularly for children with disabilities. They have warned that the continuation of this double deprivation could place the future of this vulnerable group in severe jeopardy.<\/p>\n
The directive was issued at a time when girls’ access to education in Afghanistan has faced sweeping restrictions in recent years, and the closure or limitation of educational centres has further reduced learning opportunities for vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
