Afghanistan Universities Lecturers Union (AULU) is concerned about transparency in university entrance exams.

The members of the Union argue that influence of the powerful people and corruption are the main reason behind their concerns regarding the lack of transparency while Ministry of Higher Education’s (MOHE) call these statements baseless and even political.

Head of Afghanistan Universities Lectureres Union, Taj Mohammad Akbar speaking during a press conference said, we have provided a number of recommendations to the Ministry of Higher Education to improve the entrance exam process efficiency, but they were rejected by the ministry.

They also asked the government to create an independent commission for university exams, because the current committee is corrupt.

The Spokesman of the Ministry of Higher Education, Azim Noor Bakhsh said,” there is no evidence or any document showing powerful influence or lack of transparency and these statements are baseless and political.”

Ariana News correspondent who have interviewed a number of high school graduates in Kabul said: A number of youths who will participate in the upcoming matriculation exam are worried to fail in the university admission exam and asking the government to establish new university to be able to enhance a large number of students.

These statements come after a number of provinces have already been passed the matriculation exam and the remaining provinces exams will be held in the upcoming days.
