LONG-TERM 18

ducation is a basic human right, yet the Taliban have closed the doors of schools to girls. Islam says men and women should educate themselves but the Taliban doesn’t allow for this. For a year now, women have been banned from schools. This creates big problems like depression for society and especially women. If a woman is illiterate, it affects generations to come. If the Taliban limits educating new generations of women today, there will be no female engineers, doctors, teachers, etc, tomorrow. In conclusion I want to say that we need to open the doors of schools to girls, instead of being a barrier against them. Make a way for women to achieve their academic goals. I believe that women, like men, can be proud of our country too. The Taliban closed the doors of schools to girls. Education is the basic right of human beings. Islam says that every man and woman should educate themselves. Education is the only way that we can improve our life, and it helps us to achieve our goals. Yet, the Taliban closed the doors of schools to girls. They don’t let girls educate themselves. Since last year up to now, girls can not go to school. This will create a big problem for society, if girls will be illiterate, one generation will be illiterate and depressed. On the other hand, if the Taliban limits girls to educate themselves today, tomorrow there will be no female doctor to treat their daughters. At the end of the day, I want to plead for the opening of the doors of schools to girls, instead of a barrier against them. I hope we make a way for women to achieve their academic goals. I believe that girls, like boys, can make our country proud.
Dear Mr. Taliban Good education is crucial in preparing those who will move the country forward, especially in fields such as engineering, medicine, and science. Good schools can prepare students to become exemplary citizens who make a society based on respect, equality, and rule of law.
I am devastated by the Taliban’s ruling to forbid girls from attending school beyond 6th grade. This decision will exclude Afghan girls from having the same opportunities as other girls around the world. There is nothing more un-Islamic than prohibiting education to half of the society. Islam has always encouraged education.
