The Taliban plans to expand religious schools to graduate extremist generations

The Taliban movement plans to increase religious schools in Afghanistan, which constitutes the movement’s investment in graduating new generations who believe in the movement’s ideology, as the Ministry of Education of the Taliban movement plans to build a large religious school in each of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan.

According to the official statistics of the Afghan Ministry of Education, there are currently approximately 1,200 religious schools and Islamic education centers operating in central and provinces of Afghanistan, 85 are private schools and the rest are religious schools.

The movement seeks to prepare new educational curricula instead of the educational curriculum of the previous regime, which indicates major changes in the educational sector in Afghanistan.

Religious schools in Afghanistan are part of the movement’s ideology to control Afghan society, after two decades of government schools in the previous regime, which the movement considers part of Western education that targets the Islamic identity of the Afghan people.
