The Ministry of Higher Education of Afghanistan rejected that the ministry is planning gender segregation in the universities of the country.
This comes as reports emerged earlier suggesting that the Ministry of Higher Education of Afghanistan is planning to implement gender segregation in universities in the new educational year and will organize separate classes for the male and female students.
However, a spokesman for the Ministry of Higher Education, Zia Sahil said the ministry has not made any decision regarding gender segregation in the universities of the country, emphasizing that rumors in this regard are all baseless.
