Talking to a press conference on Wednesday, Abdul Baqi Haqqani, Minister of Higher Education said that the classes of male and female students would be segregated.

“In the coming days, the Afghans will hear the news that the Taliban will reopen the public universities,” he said.

“The economic crisis and the lack of separated classes for male and female students as reasons for the delay,” he added.
