According to reports, on Tuesday, 2nd of Hoot, Taliban’s enforcers of "Amr bil Ma’ruf" (Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice) raided several educational centers in Bamiyan province. They forcibly removed female students from their classrooms and sealed the doors of these centers. This action took place after the Taliban discovered that some of these centers were secretly providing education to girls, despite the group's ban on female education.
The sources reported that after sealing the centers, the Taliban stationed guards at the doors to prevent them from reopening. One of the centers, "Kowsar Danesh," was also raided, and its director was detained. The director was later released on bail but was coerced into signing an agreement not to teach girls anymore.
This action reflects the continued pressure the Taliban is exerting on educational institutions that provide education to girls in Afghanistan. Engineer Mohammad Saleem "Afghan"

The Taliban’s raid on educational centers in Bamiyan for secretly teaching girls is a stark illustration of their intensifying crackdown on female education. By forcibly removing students, sealing classrooms, and coercing school administrators into halting instruction, the regime is not only enforcing its ban but also targeting any attempt to resist it. These actions demonstrate a systematic effort to criminalize girls’ access to education and suppress community-led educational initiatives.
