Sheikh Molvi Noorullah’s bizarre statement comes hours after the Taliban announced its new cabinet on Tuesday.
The statement is being considered by social media users that nothing has changed with the behavior of the Taliban. Many users say that why Taliban has an education minister if they do not support education.
Recently, a picture of the classroom went viral on social media wherein girls and boys can be seen separated with the help of curtains.
Taliban government has also ordered all the females of universities to wear an abaya robe and niqab covering most of the face. Taliban said only female teachers will teach girls and if it is possible aged man with ‘good character’ will teach them.
In the previous Taliban rule (between 1996 to 2001), girls were not allowed to go to schools, universities, and work.
This is the Minister of Higher Education of the Taliban — says No Phd degree, master's degree is valuable today. You see that the Mullahs & Taliban that are in the power, have no Phd, MA or even a high school degree, but are the greatest of all. pic.twitter.com/gr3UqOCX1b
