I'm trying to understand why the Taleban opposes formal education for girls. Are they concerned about the possibility of being poor theocratic managers of the money collected from taxpayers? Are they concerned that females in Afghanistan would put in a lot of time attending school and keeping teachers occupied without making effort to learn, and that the formal education would never be a catalyst for females of Afghanistan to make an economic contribution for themselves, for their families, or for their country?
