Taliban Bans 18 University Courses, Reviews 66 Others in Afghanistan
\n……………<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Higher Education under the Taliban government announced the removal of 18 university courses from public and private institutions across Afghanistan, with an additional 66 courses subjected to review and reform before approval for teaching. The decision was justified by the ministry on the grounds that some content conflicts with “Islamic Sharia principles and the policies of the Islamic Emirate.”<\/p>\n
The banned subjects include \u201cFundamental Rights of Afghanistan,\u201d \u201cSociology of Women,\u201d \u201cGood Governance,\u201d \u201cHuman Rights and Democracy,\u201d \u201cHistory of Religions,\u201d \u201cEthical Philosophy,\u201d \u201cSexual Harassment,\u201d and \u201cThe Role of Women in Public Relations.\u201d Meanwhile, courses in political science, law, international relations, sociology, psychology, and media studies, such as \u201cInternational Public and Islamic Law,\u201d \u201cHistory of Western Political Thought,\u201d and \u201cInternational Security,\u201d are among those undergoing critical review.<\/p>\n
The ministry emphasized that these subjects must be taught with \u201ccritical and corrective approaches,\u201d requiring university officials to fully comply with the new regulations. This move is part of broader changes to Afghanistan\u2019s higher education sector since the Taliban\u2019s return to power, which has seen the suspension or restriction of various academic disciplines, drawing criticism from local and international observers concerned about the future of education in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
