So far the Taliban government has reopened male-only high schools in most areas.
A number of private universities have also been opened, but in many cases the students have not been able to return to campus.
Western countries have made education for women one of their demands against the Taliban as the group seeks more foreign aid and cash in on assets abroad.
The Taliban took control of Afghanistan on August 15 when foreign troops left the country.
