The Taliban’s Higher Education Minister has claimed that ‘Charles Darwin’ has been removed from universities in Afghanistan. He says that now the country’s higher education system has become completely ‘Islamic’. Minister Neda Mohammad Nadeem said this at an international conference in Herat.
This conference was organized on improving the quality of higher education. He said that such courses were taught in universities during the previous governments, which were against Islamic values and spread moral corruption.
Intention to make students radical
The Ministry of Higher Education said in its statement that a total of 29 scholars and researchers from India, Pakistan, Britain, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Iran, Turkish and Uzbekistan along with public and private universities took part in this conference.
At this conference, some academics and researchers said that the Taliban wants to remove modern knowledge and scientific logic in the education system and bring subjects related to their ideology. He warned that the Taliban is doing this with the intention of making students radical.
What is Darwin’s ‘principle of evolution’?
The 19th century British scientist Charles Darwin is the most famous for the principle of development through Natural Selection. His theory says that all animals have been the same ancestor and gradually changes with time, which created new species. This idea of Darwin is still considered to be the foundation of modern biology.
Let us know that last month, the Taliban government changed some subjects to be taught in universities and higher education institutions and announced to include Sharia principles and its policies. According to the order of the Ministry, a total of 18 subjects were removed from the syllabus, which were considered ‘against Sharia and System Policy’. The ministry said that 201 other subjects were identified as ‘relative problems’ and will continue to be taught in a revised form.
