Students and professors have been prohibited from sharing information about their universities with local and foreign media. Professors at various universities, Kunduz, Al Biruni, and Kabul, have been instructed to not publish anything on social media. The students say they are not allowed to talk to the media about any academic issues they are experiencing. In a letter leaked to Afghanistan TV a university professor explains the situation to college students.

Jurist added that restrictions have been imposed on both public and private universities, and that college students in Balkh and Badakhshan have been prohibited from using cellphones inside the university compound. Previously, the taliban had imposed segregated classes and required male professors to not enter female classrooms. It seems all impositions are now codified as formal regulations in public universities.

Although the taliban have allowed universities to reopen and girls to resume their education, students and professors say restrictions have reduced the quality of education amongst other challenges. Recently, the taliban changed schools and universities curriculums, dramatically increasing Islamic subjects have increased.
