Education and Urban Development ministries sign MoU

The Ministry of Higher Education and Urban Development signed a memorandum of understanding, according to which, students at universities in the country, especially at engineering departments, can do practical work in the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing.

Hamdullah Nomani, Acting Minister of Urban Development and Housing, said at the meeting that the lack of coordination between sectoral and academic institutions has resulted in widespread construction work of sub-standard quality.

Acting Minister of Higher Education also said that a country will not achieve progress unless it develops the fields of science and knowledge.

“It is a fact that if there is no scientific progress in a country, it is impossible to rebuild that country and solve the problems of its people,” said Neda Mohammad Nadeem.

Osama Aziz, the chancellor of Kabul University also said that providing students with a practical work environment will make them implement what they learn in practice and after graduating from universities, they can be easily recruited by government institutions.

The officials of Urban Development meanwhile also stated the ministry is working in coordination with other relevant departments.
