On March 22, local time, the Afghan Ministry of Education announced that all schools in the country will resume classes on the 23rd, including girls.

On the 23rd, when the local girls in Afghanistan walked to the school gate, they were ordered to go home, and they had to return in tears.

The Afghan Taliban has withdrawn measures to open schools to upper-class girls, saying they will remain closed until a reopening plan is drawn up in accordance with Sharia law and the Afghan cultural sector.

The ministry order states: "If the uniforms of girls in grades 7 to 12 are made in accordance with Sharia law, national traditions and culture, the school will be open to them in accordance with the order of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan." (produced by Wu Rui)
