The plans were outlined by the fundamentalist group's higher education minister, Abdul Baqi Haqqani.
He confirmed the ban on mixed-sex education, saying “We have no problems in ending the mixed-education system. The people are Muslims and they will accept it”.
The group have promised to preserve female education * women's rights, but will do so according to Islamic law.
The new Afghan government is all male.
