BBC News - Afghanistan: Taliban backtrack on reopening high schools for girls
The Taliban have reversed a decision to allow Afghan girls to return to high schools, saying a decision is still to be made on the uniforms they must wear.
Schools were set to open after months of restrictions after the Taliban seized power last August.
...
"We inform all girls' high schools and those schools that [have] female students above class six that they are off until the next order," the notice said.
The notice added schools would reopen after a decision over the uniform of female students was made in accordance with "Sharia law and Afghan tradition".
