A number of graduates and students in Bamiyan are calling on the interim government to provide job opportunities.

Some graduates in Bamiyan say they have developed mental health issues due to unemployment and increasing poverty.

Tahir Shah, a student, said: "The primary desire of every student is to be a breadwinner for their family. That is why we seriously demand that the government provide job opportunities for every student."

Hamed, another student, said: "Our request to the government is to create more job opportunities for us as soon as possible so that we can serve our community and families in the future."

Abdulwali, a graduate from the Faculty of Social Sciences at Bamiyan University who received his degree six years ago, said he has spent a lot of time seeking job opportunities, but his efforts have so far been unsuccessful.

Abdulwali said: "I have sent about 150 CVs to various institutions but unfortunately received no responses. This has affected me both mentally and economically."

Firozuddin Moradi, a university professor, said: "When educated individuals do not enter the job market, it limits quality work, job creation, and economic development in the community, and can even make these goals impossible."

Meanwhile, the governor of Bamiyan assures that job opportunities will be provided for graduates based on their abilities and skills.

Abdullah Sarhadi, the governor of Bamiyan, said: "God willing, job opportunities will be provided for all students. We urge the government to include those who understand governance within the government framework."

According to statistics, over 6,000 students are currently studying across 7 faculties and 34 academic disciplines at Bamiyan University.
