Sheikh Molvi Noorullah Munir, the Taliban government's Minister of Education, has declared that PhD and master's degrees are not useful because mullahs do not have them, even though they are "the greatest of all."
A video of Afghanistan's Education Minister is now being widely shared on Twitter, wherein he is seen talking of education policy and of master's degrees and PhD.
"No PhD degree, master's degree is valuable today. You see that the Mullahs and Taliban that are in power, have no PhD, MA, or even a high school degree, but are the greatest of all, " Sheikh Molvi Noorullah Munir is heard saying in the video. The remarks, as expected, drew huge criticism.
