٠٠:٠٣:٢١Male and female students in Afghanistan university classrooms are now separated by curtains as they attend lectures following the reopening of universities under the Taliban rule.
In Kandahar's Mirwais Nika University on Monday, male and female students listened to lectures while being divided by a curtain that had been set up in the middle of the class.
Taliban forces have reportedly designated separate entrances for female students and mandated hijab for attending women in classes.
On Saturday, teenage Afghan girls were not allowed to return to secondary schools after a Taliban-issued decree only ordered male students and teachers to return to high schools. During their 1996-2001 rule, the Taliban had banned women from studying altogether.
Taliban forces took control of Afghanistan amid the US withdrawal of its forces from the country in August. While the fundamentalist group has promised inclusivity, its government does not include any women.
