New Delhi: In the wake of several discussions over the Taliban order banning secondary schools for girls in Afghanistan, the Nimroz education department has agreed to reinstate female teachers in the schools. According to the Nimroz education department, all those female teaching staffers who had lost their jobs after the Taliban took over the country will once again be employed.
As per a report by Tolo News, all the female teachers who lost their jobs after the fall of the Afghan government will be employed at the schools in need.
Mawlawi Yar Mohammad Haqyar, the director of the Nimroz education department, as quoted by news agency ANI, "Soon the reappointment of 196 teachers may occur.”
As per reports, the Afghan female teachers who had lost their jobs praised the Ministry of Education for their decision to re-employing the female teachers.
According to Nimroz teachers and school officials, they are facing a severe crunch of female teachers in the province, Tolo News reported.
One of the female teachers Ms Lima, said that she was unable to teach over the last eight months. As per Tolo News report, Lima had also called upon the local Afghan officials in Nimroz to give her and other fellow teachers an opportunity to work.
"The Islamic Emirate has provided the opportunity for us to return to our duty without an exam. I am very happy and I ask the teachers who have left to come back," ANI quoted Lima as saying.
It is to be noted that the decision of the Taliban regime to shut down all secondary schools for girls drew worldwide condemnation. Several activists and political parties had urged the Taliban to reconsider their decision to ban secondary schools for girls.
However, the Taliban's Ministry of Education has assured that the schools for girls in Classes 7-12 will be reopened in the near future.
