Haqqani: World Should Support Afghan Education, Despite Politics

Acting Minister of Higher Education Abdul Baqi Haqqani, in the inaugural ceremony for Kabul University's educational complex and auditorium, asked the international community to support Afghanistan's educational system regardless of the country's political issues.

Haqqani criticized the US for prohibiting the leadership of the Ministry of Higher Education from traveling and said that this would have a bad effect on the country's educational system.

"If the world wants Afghanistan to develop, the only practical option is to help Afghanistan's higher education sector and support educational institutions so that they grow and Afghanistan becomes self-sufficient," he added.

The acting Minister of Higher Education said that despite the economic challenges in the country, the ministry has kept the doors of universities open for boys and girls to continue their education.

Meanwhile, the Chinese ambassador in Kabul, Wang Yu, once again criticized the freezing of Afghanistan's assets by the US, and said that China will provide more assistance to Afghanistan.

"China is working on a number of projects in Afghanistan related to commerce, agriculture, and internet development. Help that is provided during natural disaster and aid that is required for this nation's growth are the two different types of aid that we provide to Afghanistan. The current administration needs to develop in the business sector, he added.

However, some university lectures have different views on this issue.

“We ask the government of China to provide free education for the professors of universities and to scholarship applicants in China so they could use the experience of that country to bring changes in the situation of Afghanistan,” said Mohammad Yahya Rahil, university lecturer.

"China can help Afghanistan in the sphere of sharing educational experiences between the educational institutions of China and Afghanistan, given its strong economic and educational facilities,” said Fardin Ayar, a university lecturer.

The educational complex, which has three halls and forty classrooms, was built by the Chinese government at a cost of sixty million Afghanis, according to the chancellor of Kabul University.
