The Taliban have incorporated their newly ratified "Law on the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice" into the teaching curriculum across all public and private universities in Afghanistan. According to 8am Daily, two knowledgeable sources confirmed on Friday that the directive was issued directly by the Taliban supreme leader, Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada.
The sources stated that while the decision was originally finalized six months ago, practical implementation has only recently commenced in Kandahar and several other provinces. The Taliban Minister of Higher Education, Neda Mohammad Nadeem, has instructed all universities to format the law into teaching chapters for incoming courses.
In collaboration with the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, higher education authorities have begun organizing mandatory introductory seminars for university students. The goal is to orient students toward the regulations before full integration into class schedules.
Informed sources noted that once the ongoing workshops conclude, the law will be officially and systematically taught within the regular curriculum. The stated purpose behind the directive is to familiarize the public and student body with the group's ideological guidelines.
Since retaking power, the Taliban have drastically overhauled Afghanistan's educational landscape, eliminating numerous modern subjects while imposing conservative religious guidelines across schools and universities.
The wider implementation of this decree has drawn ongoing condemnation from international human rights bodies concerned over shrinking personal freedoms across the country.
