The Taliban’s Ministry of Education has dismissed reports from several international organizations concerning the state of education in Afghanistan as inaccurate. Qari Mansour Ahmad Hamza, the ministry’s spokesperson, claimed that since the Taliban took control, serious attention has been paid to the quality of educational institutions.<\/p>\n
According to Hamza, over the past four years, educational centers have been established in areas where there were previously no signs of formal education, providing what he described as a “healthy educational environment” for students. He emphasized that these initiatives are part of the Taliban administration’s broader plans to expand education throughout the country.<\/p>\n
These remarks come amid numerous reports from international bodies and education rights advocates expressing concern over widespread restrictions, particularly regarding girls’ access to secondary and higher education. Critics argue that focusing on broad claims without clear responses to these issues does not offer a transparent picture of the actual state of education for the country’s residents.<\/p>\n
Despite the Taliban’s insistence on developing educational centers, independent observers have called for the provision of verifiable information, unbiased access to educational sites, and the lifting of restrictions to enable a more accurate assessment of Afghanistan’s educational conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
