Date: 29/9/1401

To all government and private educational institutions and universities,

Based on the decision of the Cabinet dated 28th May 1443 AH, you are hereby informed that the aforementioned order (that the education of females is suspended until further notice) must be implemented immediately. Please ensure that you report your actions to the relevant authorities.

This official decree formalizes the Taliban's nationwide suspension of female education in all government and private institutions—effectively enshrining gender apartheid within the education system. Framed as a Cabinet decision, it cements the erasure of women from public and intellectual life under the guise of administrative compliance, with no reference to duration or conditions for reinstatement.
