The negative effects of closing schools on the psyche of female students

-
Anxiety and depression: Students may feel hopeless and anxious due to the loss of educational and social opportunities. This can lead to depression and other psychological problems.
-
Decreasing self-confidence: lack of education and interaction with peers can lead to a decrease in girls’ self-confidence. They may feel that they are lagging behind others and that their abilities are being challenged.
-
Isolation and loneliness: The lack of school environment can lead to isolation and loneliness of girls. They may feel that their social connections are limited.
-
Negative effects on the future: The closure of schools can have long-term negative effects on the academic and professional future of girls. This can lead to a decrease in employment and social opportunities in the future.
-
Increasing the risk of early marriage: In some societies, the lack of education may lead to increased pressures for early marriage of girls. This can severely limit their lives and future opportunities.
-
Decreasing social skills: Schools play an important role in the development of students’ social skills. School closures can reduce these skills and limit their ability to communicate with others.

Is there a possibility of opening schools for girls under the Taliban regime?
The possibility of opening schools for girls under the Taliban regime depends on various factors and it is difficult to predict it accurately. However, the following can be effective in this regard:
-
International pressure: Different countries, international organizations and human rights institutions are constantly putting pressure on the Taliban to respect the rights of women and girls. These pressures may force the Taliban to reconsider their educational policies.
-
Internal pressure: The Afghan people themselves, especially the families of female students, may play an important role with their protests and requests to open schools for girls.
-
Economic situation: Opening schools and increasing the level of education can help improve the economic situation of the country. Taliban may understand this issue and decide to open schools for economic growth.
-
Changes in the Taliban’s internal policy: If more moderate groups gain more power within the Taliban, the possibility of opening schools to girls will increase.
However, until the Taliban make concrete and practical decisions in this regard, it cannot be said with certainty that schools will be opened for girls. The current situation requires continuous monitoring and constant pressure from the international community and the people of Afghanistan.
