IEA working on curriculum, transport for school girls above 6th grade
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) is working on modifying the curriculum and establishing a transport system for school girls above sixth grade, its spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Saturday.
Speaking at an international conference of clerics in Turkey, Mujahid said that schools for girls above sixth grade are closed not because IEA is against their education, but to prepare principles.
“We correct their curriculum… we plan for their transport so that people are prepared psychologically and religiously to allow their daughters to go to school. Their environment should be safe. What they learn should be religious and ethical,” Mujahid said.
Mujahid went on to say that the current school curriculum was formed during the occupation of the United States.
“If that curriculum is enforced in Afghanistan, they will turn against the country,” Mujahid said.
He also said that there should be separate schools for girls above sixth grade.
