Banning women's education in Afghanistan is playing with future of nation

The Ministry of Higher Education in Afghanistan has recently announced the start of the new academic year for male students only. It begins on March 6th. This is while there is still no mention of when and if education would be accessible to girls in the country again. People believe women must enjoy their right to education.
Female students are worried about not being allowed to attend high school and universities. They say the ban on their education has negative effects on the fate and future of millions of Afghan girls and the country.
The education ban for females started days after the Taliban took power in Afghanistan in 2021. At first, students were banned from attending high school. Then two months ago, a decree issued by the Ministry of Higher education banned female students from universities, too. The decree said the ban would be temporary.
Millions of Afghans hope that the ban would not be permanent. They wish to see schools and universities open again soon. However, no one knows when that limitation will be lifted.
