Kabul – Arg News: Neda Mohammad Nadeem, acting Minister of Higher Education under the Taliban administration, has emphasized the need for strengthening the education system, reforming university structures, and implementing the law of Amr bil Ma’ruf wa Nahi an al-Munkar (Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice) in higher education institutions.
According to a statement released by the Ministry of Higher Education on Sunday, July 27, the meeting was held in the leadership hall of the ministry. Central directors attended in person, while the heads of public universities joined via video conference.
During the session, Nadeem highlighted the crucial role of academic institutions in the scientific and cultural development of the country. He stated: “The Islamic Emirate has placed great trust in us, assigning us the responsibility to elevate the academic system and guide it towards progress.”
He stressed that the enforcement of the Amr bil Ma’ruf wa Nahi an al-Munkar law in educational centers must be carried out according to the directives of the Taliban leader. He also instructed university officials to not only carry out daily tasks but also introduce fundamental reforms in academic structures and curricula.
The minister called for constant supervision of university curricula and urged that student education be aligned with Islamic Sharia, local culture, and national values.
This move comes amid widespread domestic and international criticism of the Taliban’s implementation of the Amr bil Ma’ruf law, particularly over its role in restricting individual freedoms, especially for women.
