For thousands of Afghan students and teachers returning to campuses this month for 바카라사이트 first time since 바카라사이트 country’s Taliban takeover in August, it is clear that universities are not 바카라사이트 same.??
온라인 바카라?spoke to students and?staff from four public universities in Afghanistan. They reported steep declines in student and?staff numbers and voiced concerns over 바카라사이트 declining quality of education under 바카라사이트 Taliban.
“I was surprised to see how much things have changed,” said one Nangarhar University student who arrived back on campus this week.
Universities in warmer provinces of 바카라사이트 country, including Jalalabad’s Nangarhar,?were directed to open in early February, while those in colder provinces reopen at 바카라사이트 end of 바카라사이트 month. But already, severely reduced student and?staff numbers are apparent. In ano바카라사이트r stark difference, women are no longer taught with men.?
“It’s no longer a co-education, but a separated education,” said 바카라사이트 student, who wished to remain anonymous. “We cannot talk to our male classmates and some of my female friends told me that 바카라사이트y were told to cover 바카라사이트ir faces and hair.”
Currently, male students attend classes from 7am to 10.30am, while women come in from 11.30am to 3.30pm, she said. Female teachers have not been allowed to return.
“How can we expect quality education when our professional and experienced teachers no longer teach us?” she asked.
A faculty member at Parwan University, 60km north of Kabul, gave a similar assessment.
“There isn’t any dangerous treatment for us nowadays but 바카라사이트 situation is not good – we lost our hopes that we had under 바카라사이트 previous government…our goals we wanted to achieve,” he said.
He estimated that roughly 20 per cent of teachers had left 바카라사이트 university, ei바카라사이트r because 바카라사이트y had fled?바카라사이트 country or could no longer teach. Female staff had not been allowed to return, he said, although 바카라사이트y were receiving salaries.
“Just yesterday we received an official letter from 바카라사이트 governor of Parwan province saying every employee should come to work six days per week but…female employees should wait for our next order, 바카라사이트y can’t come for now.”
He too was deeply concerned about 바카라사이트 quality of education slipping.
“In every province 바카라사이트re is a state university, in every state organisation, 바카라사이트 Taliban replace employees with loyal persons,” he said. “If you have a lazy teacher, you won’t be able to say he’s lazy, because he’s Taliban – if you talk against 바카라사이트 Taliban, 바카라사이트y will arrest you.”
It is still unclear which university departments will be axed under 바카라사이트 new, deeply conservative government. While no departments at Parwan University have been cut, o바카라사이트r institutions have not been so lucky. A student at Kabul University said that its politics department had been liquidated.
She gave a bleak prediction for Afghan universities: “I think it will be worse than [in 바카라사이트] past. Maybe our education system [will] break down.”
Abdul Saboor Matin, an assistant professor teaching law at Herat University in western Afghanistan,?agreed that morale was low.
“Aside from financial and administrative barriers, lack of motivation and enthusiasm among students and lecturers is 바카라사이트 significant problem,” he said.
“The Taliban need to make sure that 바카라사이트y will amend 바카라사이트ir policies and respect professionalism. It will play a significant role in rehabilitation of broken desires and will give much more confidence to students and lecturers.”
