According to him, these schools operate under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, and the Taliban have paid special attention to expanding religious educational structures.


In the view of Taliban officials, alongside the development of religious schools, millions of students in secular schools are also engaged in learning modern subjects. They claim that the school curriculum has been reviewed and "reformed" in accordance with new perspectives.


In response to these claims, human rights organizations and a number of international bodies have expressed concern over the consequences of expanding jihadist schools. In their view, these centers could pave the way for promoting extremism and altering the mindset of the younger generation.


A recent study by the Afghanistan Human Rights Center shows that in every province of the country, at least one large jihadist school with extensive dormitory capacity has been built, and similar centers have also been established at the district level.


The study adds that the actual number of these schools exceeds official figures. Based on these findings, the Taliban have removed a number of important educational subjects from school curricula in recent years. At the same time, girls above the sixth grade continue to be deprived of attending school and university—a situation that has become one of the country's largest educational crises.

The Taliban spokesperson has announced that currently, tens of thousands of religious schools are active across Afghanistan, and millions of children and adolescents are engaged in religious education at these centers.
