We'll need to wait and see what the Taliban actually do versus what they promise and see if it applies to just Kabul or the whole country too. Their current spokesman has said that they haven't let girls back into school yet in some ages because they need to figure out how to make it safe for girls. This is of course a bit bizarro land as the reason it was so unsafe in the past twenty years has been because of Taliban supporters attacking and kidnapping girls going to schools or destroying the schools outright.
As for the problem above that you mentioned, well for the girls currently allowed in school it's of course the pre-pubescent girls. Even in Taliban areas little girls and boys were able to play together. Once they get near puberty though the Sharia law comes down and they separate girls from boys in everything. Most of Afghan schools having been mixed genders the last twenty years means that trying to have separate education for girls and boys means they'll need to build all new schools, something I doubt the Taliban will spend a lot of time or resources on.
As for the universities that are currently allowing some limited women's education, that may be for international consumption, may be because there's more classrooms and teachers that can make it work. Who knows for sure, their spokesmen have said a great deal but only time will tell what they actually intend.
There's also the issue of teachers, a lot of Afghan teachers were women so if they end not not being allowed to work and so on it creates the problem of who's to teach the adolescent girls.
At the very least if there's access to internet throughout most of the country then there's an ability to access DL education if the girls family wants to. We'll see if the Taliban ends up implementing some sort of islamic firewall in the future
Will the Taliban restrict internet access in Afghanistan?
