										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Women in Afghanistan can continue to study in universities, including at post-graduate levels, but classrooms will be gender-segregated and Islamic dress is compulsory, the higher education minister in the new Taliban government said Sunday.</p>
<p>The minister, Abdul Baqi Haqqani, laid out the new policies at a news conference, several days after Afghanistan’s new rulers formed an all-male government.</p>
<p>The world has been watching closely to see to what extent the Taliban might act differently from their first time in power, in the late 1990s. During that era, girls and women were denied an education, and were excluded from public life.</p>
<p>The Taliban have suggested they have changed, including in their attitudes toward women. However, they have used violence in recent days against women protesters demanding equal rights.</p>
<p>Haqqani said the Taliban did not want to turn the clock back 20 years. “We will start building on what exists today,” he said.</p>
<p>However, female university students will face restrictions under the Taliban, including a compulsory dress code. Haqqani said hijabs will be mandatory but did not specify if this meant compulsory headscarves or also compulsory face coverings.</p>
<p>Gender segregation will also be enforced, he said. “We will not allow boys and girls to study together,” he said. “We will not allow co-education.”</p>
<p>Haqqani said the subjects being taught in universities would also be reviewed but did not elaborate. The Taliban, who subscribe to a harsh interpretation of Islam, have banned music and art during their previous time in power.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though the number of state-run arts and science colleges have increased over the years in Tamil Nadu, hostels have not been set up in proportion to such new institutions, the PMK said here on Sunday and demanded more hostel facilities for students while urging the government to ease norms to address the issue.</p>
<p>During the past eight years, the number of arts and science colleges have more than doubled from 69 in 2013 to 143 at present, the party founder leader S Ramadoss said. The number of hostels was not however increased correspondingly, he said, batting for more hostels.</p>
<p>While many new institutions are in rural areas, the hostels are mostly in urban regions. Though some hostels are located close to colleges, a rule however barred students from getting admitted to hostels if the location of colleges and hostels fell under separate revenue districts, though these two centres could be located relatively closer, he said.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that students of a government run college at Perumbakkam here may stay in a state run hostel in Guindy area, hostel administration does not allow students of that college stating that their institution fell under Chengelpet district. &#8220;It would take at least three hours to travel between Perumbakkam college and Chengelpet hostel. This is not possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>There are several vacancies in hostels across Tamil Nadu and if the government relaxed the rule on district borders for admission purposes and announced that students of any government college may join any state-run hostel, about &#8220;70 per cent of the problem can be solved,&#8221; he said in a statement.</p>
<p>Admission to arts and science courses in government colleges are in full swing and about 90 per cent of seats have been filled and the remaining seats are also expected to be filled soon.</p>
<p>Though students are happy that they have got admission to courses of their choice, those who have not got hostel admission are disappointed, the PMK leader said.</p>
