Afghanistan's Taliban-controlled Ministry of Higher Education suspended the licences of seven private universities for one year and permanently revoked the licences of two others, citing administrative and academic violations. The affected institutions span Jowzjan, Balkh, Badakhshan, Faryab, Kabul, Kunduz, and Takhar provinces. The action further compounds a broader collapse of higher education driven by the Taliban's complete ban on women and girls attending universities, which has already reduced female enrolment to zero and placed 31% of private universities at financial risk of closure.
