Experts and researchers from the United Kingdom, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan participated in the conference.
Neda Mohammad Nadeem, Minister of Higher Education, said that in order to prevent un-Islamic ideas, reforms have recently been introduced in the country’s higher education curriculum, and this process will continue.
He stated: “In the coming days and months, you will see Afghanistan’s curriculum in such a way that nothing in it will harm the faith, morals, or mindset of Muslims. A healthy, reliable, and temporary curriculum will be presented to professors and students.”
Noor Ahmad Islamjar, Governor of Herat, said: “Industrialization of a country, a province, or a city is not only about bringing in machinery and factories, but also about raising an educated and knowledgeable young generation capable of managing these factories.”
At the conference, 65 academic papers, including 29 from international researchers, were presented.
The aim of this international conference was described as identifying and overcoming obstacles to improving the quality of higher education in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, some researchers and experts said Afghanistan’s higher education system requires fundamental reforms, and universities and the Ministry of Higher Education must work jointly in this regard.
They expressed hope that the Ministry would adopt the strategies discussed at the conference to address challenges facing higher education in the country.
This international conference will be held over two days in Herat.
The Ministry of Higher Education has announced its support for every effort aimed at improving the quality of higher education and advancing modern sciences in universities.
