The Taliban in Afghanistan has ‘re-opened’ schools across Afghanistan for girls till grade six. 

However, the Taliban on Wednesday ordered shutting down of secondary girl schools in Kabul – the capital city of Afghanistan. 

The closing down of secondary girls’ schools in Kabul came barely a day after the schools were reopened on Tuesday. 

According to TOLO News in Afghanistan, schools reopened for girls of all ages in Herat city on Wednesday.
