Abdul Hai Mutmain said that the Taleban movement will be setting up schools for children in Southern Afghanistan. They will start commissioning schools in March and April of 2007. In much of Southern Afghanistan there are no schools for children and most of the schools are closed because of threats from armed militants. Qari Yousuf, a Taleban spokesman said the school's syllabus will include subjects like history, geography, physics, chemistry and Islamic subjects. He said they will start with schools for boys only and later on they will build schools for girls.

I personally think this is very good news for the children in Southern Afghanistan. Because the Taleban did not allow girls to go to school. So now in the future, they are planning to build schools for girls. This will provide boys and girls in Southern Afghanistan with education. I think Afghanistan would be better of if it was in a democracy.
