The Taliban's caretaker higher education minister said on Sunday that Afghanistan's national curriculum will be purged of elements which conflict with Islam.

Speaking at a news conference in Kabul, Abdul Baqi Haqqani claimed the country's recent history showed Afghans "won't accept anything but Islam".
When they were last in power in the 1990s, the Taliban oversaw an oppressive system that offered people limited educational opportunities and restricted women and girls to their homes.

"Afghans won't abandon Islam, Afghans won't accept slavery, they won't neglect their national values," Haqqani said.
