Taliban bans wearing neckties in schools

KABUL (Khaama Press): Educational Directorate of Kabul in an official letter said that students and teachers are no longer allowed to wear neckties in schools. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Education of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Aziz Ahmad Rayan confirmed the news and added that wearing ties has completely been banned in schools.
In the letter, all schools in Kabul have been asked to closely observe the Islamic hijab for female students and not to allow ties by students and teachers.
This comes as secondary schools for girls across Afghanistan are yet to be reopened while boys are allowed to attend classes of all levels.
The IEA has recently announced that work on reopening girls’ schools has been closer to being finalized and will reopen schools once the scheme is ready. Closure of schools for girls has not only created backlash out of Afghanistan but also inside the country and even among pro-Taliban figures.
