Like, I believe you that they're offering vocational lessons but I've got questions like "are they arresting people for wearing burkahs?"
I'm not gonna suggest that this definitely isn't happening, because we don’t know, but what we do know is that if the west had anything that even looked like evidence for it, we would be having it shoved in our faces nonstop, like they tried to do for a while with those satellite images of high schools they claimed were extermination camps before walking it back a couple years ago.
Of course, that doesnt make the situation not bad. I think that broadly, the CPC's course of action is probably the least worst option for diffusing the homegrown-Afghanistan situation the US has been trying to stir up over there for a while, but acknowledge that their solution, like all policing/reeducation initiatives, creates power differentials that are ripe for abuse. Real damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, and I really hope they manage to thread that needle.
I share your concerns but just want to address:
