Afghan students have started returning to university for the first time since the Taliban’s takeover and in some cases, female students have been divided from their male classmates by curtains or boards down the middle of the classroom.
According to Reuters, teachers and students at universities in Afghanistan’s largest cities including Kabul, Kandahar, and Herat stated that female students were being segregated in class, taught separately, or restricted to certain parts of the campus.
While on a call with Reuters, Anjila, a 21-year-old student at Kabul University said, “Putting up curtains is not acceptable. I really felt terrible when I entered the class. We are gradually going back to 20 years ago.”
“Female students sat separately from males. But classrooms were not physically divided”, she added.
A document outlining guidelines for resuming class has been circulating which lists measures such as the mandatory wearing of hijabs and separate entrances for female students. However, it was unclear if the document represented official Taliban policy.
A senior Taliban official told the agency that classroom dividers were “completely acceptable”, and that given Afghanistan’s “limited resources and manpower” it was best to “have the same teacher teaching both sides of a class”.
The photographs were shared by Avicenna University in Kabul and widely circulated on social media, prompting people to ask if women would be given their rights to education and work under Islam.
When the Taliban last ruled from 1996-2001, the group banned girls from school and women from university and work.

A 28-year-old Vietnamese man has been sentenced to five years in prison for breaching coronavirus quarantine protocols and spreading the virus to others, reports Reuters.
According to state-run Vietnam News Agency, Le Van Tri was convicted of “spreading dangerous infectious diseases” at a one-day trial on Monday at the people’s court of the southern province of Ca Mau.
“Tri travelled back to Ca Mau from Ho Chi Minh City and breached the 21-day quarantine regulations. He infected eight people, one of whom died due to the virus after one month of treatment,” the news agency stated.
Due to the targeted mass testing, aggressive contact tracing, tight border restrictions, and strict quarantine, Vietnam had been one of the world’s coronavirus success stories.
Ca Mau, Vietnam’s southernmost province has reported only 191 cases and two deaths since the pandemic began, much lower than the country’s capital.
In the past few months, the vast majority of cases and deaths were reported. So far more than 536,000 cases have been reported.
Prior to this, the country sentenced two other people to 18-month and two-year suspended jail terms on the same charges.

According to the CM’s aide, there are currently 160 female detainees languishing in various jails, with 35 of them having been convicted and 125 cases pending in various courts.
