Local sources report that the Taliban have removed 51 subjects from school textbooks in Afghanistan, including topics on women’s rights and human rights.
On Thursday, September 11, local sources told the Hasht-e Subh Daily that the Taliban claimed the removed subjects were in contradiction with the values and principles of Islamic Sharia.
According to documents provided to the Hasht-e Subh Daily, among the removed subjects from first-grade Dari and Pashto textbooks were “Flag,” “Freedom,” “Teacher’s Day,” and “Mother.”
In addition, in fifth-grade Dari and Pashto textbooks, the subjects “Women’s Rights” and “Human Rights” have been deleted.
Seventh- and eighth-grade textbooks have also had subjects such as “Women’s Rights in Society,” “Human Rights,” “National Unity,” and “Humanitarianism” removed from the curriculum.
Local sources warn that these actions could have serious consequences for the education system and the future generation, raising concerns about the restriction of students’ awareness.
