In response to the continued closure of girls' schools above the sixth grade and universities in Afghanistan, the German Foreign Ministry has called on the Islamic Emirate to reopen schools and universities for girls.

The ministry, expressing concern about educational restrictions in Afghanistan, on X said that with the start of the new academic year in the country, middle school, high school, and female university students have once again been deprived of education.

At the same time, the Dutch Embassy in Afghanistan has called the start of the new academic year a "black day" for more than one million girls and women in Afghanistan who have been deprived of education for the third consecutive year.

According to this embassy, the ban on girls' education is a "violation of rights" that leaves a "terrible toll" on Afghan society.

Alison Davidian, the UN special representative for women in Afghanistan, said that the education of Afghan girls is key to unlocking a brighter future for the people of Afghanistan.

She said that the Afghan girls belong in classrooms.

Allowing all girls to go to school and ensuring women's rights in Afghanistan is one of the main prerequisites of the international community for recognizing the Islamic Emirate government.
