Schoolgirls told the BBC they were devastated to not be returning. “Everything looks very dark,” one said.
Taliban officials who seized power last month said they were working to succeed in a choice on the matter.
Many fear a return of the regime of the 1990s when the Taliban severely restricted girls’ and women’s rights.
Under their new government, Taliban officials have said that ladies are going to be allowed to review and add accordance with the group’s interpretation of Islamic religious law.
A statement issued before Afghan schools reopening on Saturday said: “All male teachers and students should attend their educational institutions.”
Secondary schools are usually for college kids aged between 13 and 18, and most are segregated.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid was later quoted by Afghanistan’s Bakhtar press agency as saying that girls’ schools would open soon. He said officials were currently performing on the “procedure” for this, and details including the division of teachers.
The spokesman told the BBC that officials were also trying to mapped out transport for older schoolgirls.
Schoolgirls and their parents on Saturday said prospects were bleak.
“I am so worried about my future,” said one Afghan schoolgirl, who had hoped to be a lawyer.
“Everything looks very dark. a day I awaken and ask myself why i’m alive? Should I occupy home and await someone to play the door and inquire from me to marry him? is that this the aim of being a woman?”
Her father said: “My mother was illiterate, and my father constantly bullied her and called her an idiot. I didn’t want my daughter to become like my mum.”
Another schoolgirl, a 16-year-old from Kabul, said it had been a “sorrowful day”.
“I wanted to become a doctor! which dream has vanished. i do not think they might allow us to return to high school . albeit they open the high schools again, they do not want women to become educated.”
Earlier in the week , the Taliban announced that ladies would be allowed to review at universities, but they might not be ready to do so alongside men and would face a replacement code .
Some suggested the new rules would exclude women from education because the schools don’t have the resources to supply separate classes.
Barring girls from secondary schools would mean none would be ready to continue to further education.
Since the Taliban were faraway from power in 2001, enormous progress has been made in improving Afghanistan’s education enrolments and literacy rates – especially for women and ladies .
The number of women in primary schools increased from almost zero to 2.5 million, while the feminine literacy rate nearly doubled during a decade to 30%. However, many of the gains are made in cities.
“This may be a setback within the education of Afghan women and girls,” said Nororya Nizhat, a former Education Ministry spokesperson.
“This reminds everyone of what the Taliban did within the 90s. We ended up with a generation of illiterate and non-educated women.”
Shortly after taking power the Taliban said the rights of girls in Afghanistan would be respected “within the framework of Islamic law”.
