The Taliban announced Wednesday that two of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces have reopened public universities for female students.
Nangarhar and Kandahar were selected as the first two districts to allow women back into classes due to their warmer climates, the Taliban-run Ministry of Information and Culture said. As part of the Taliban’s gender-segregated system, male students will attend classes in the morning, while female students will attend in the afternoon, according to the Associated Press.
