Kabul University faces shortage of professors

Published

on

A number of Kabul University students raised their concerns on Sunday and said in addition to a shortage of lecturers and professors, they also have very little purified drinking water and that hostel accommodation is overcrowded.

The students say that many professors have left the country and those who are now teaching do not all have the necessary qualifications and expertise.

"Our lessons are progressing very slowly and that's why we fell one semester behind," said Faisal Amarkhil, a student at Kabul University.

Power outages, a lack of safe drinking water and unsuitable accommodation are other problems the students raised adding that in many instances seven students share a three-bed hostel dormitory.

"Where we are, we live in a three-person room with more than seven people, and this is sad," said Paiwand Patan, a student at Kabul University.

"It is very hot, there is no regular electricity, and our main problem is not having access to drinking water, which we have to bring from far away,” said Elham Stanikzai, a student at the university.

Kabul University officials say that the lack of professional staff is a legacy of the past government, but that they are trying to solve the other problems.

"The problem of professional professors also existed during the republic’s time, and after the changes and the professors' travels abroad, this problem has become more sensitive; and there are electricity problems throughout the country, and due to the lack of space the number of students in the hostels is more than it should be, but these problems will be solved as soon as possible,” said Rahimullah Nadim, head of publications of Kabul University.

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) has repeatedly called for university lecturers and professors to return to home and help rebuild their country.

However the number of vacancies in this sector remains high.

Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) officials say they first plan to set up electronic payments in large stores and oil stations in Kabul city and then in other big cities of the country.

DAB officials stated this system of payment can prevent the physical transaction of money.

They added that with electronic payments money circulation is prevented and the value of the afghani currency increases.

“Our effort is to have these machines in stores and oil stations in the first stage so that citizens can pay their transactions electronically,” said Haseebullah Noori, DAB spokesman.

Meanwhile, some industrialists said that when electronic payments become common, this will also increase business and on the other hand, services will be accelerated.

“This system has many benefits. One is that physical money is not used and the second is that it creates a facility for people. Thirdly, these funds are kept and consolidated in the country's banks, and the banks can invest in Afghanistan,” said Abdul Jabbar Safi, director of the Association of Industrialists.

DAB stated it will expand electronic payments first in the capital and then in big cities. Currently, the majority of transactions within the country are done with physical money.

However, this is not the case in other countries and all financial transactions are done through banks and electronic payments.
