MoE to boost technical,
professional education
KABUL: Officials in the Ministry of Education (MoE) say they are trying to
boost professional and technical education throughout the country.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Amanullah Ayman, spokesman
for MoE, said that officials in MoE are trying to bring balance between the
general education and technical and professional educations. He said: “To
step up toward the target, during the 1st quarter of the ongoing solar
year, MoE has established some 41 professional and technical schools in
different parts of the country.” Out of the mentioned number some 13
were technical and professional institutions and the remained are
professional high schools. He said they would try to increase the number of
teachers from 1,200 to 1,700 and the students’ number is planned to be
increased from 38,000 to 48,000 by this year which is a significant change
than the previous years.
He said the ministry tries to increase the number of the professional and
technical schools and institutes to accept more students who can’t find
the way to the higher education institutions and universities. He said in
current year they have accepted some 25,000 students in different
vocational education schools and institutes and have hired some 159
teachers in this aspect.
He said this is the 1st time that MoE has provided lesson curriculum for the
vocational studies and would be completed by the end of this solar year, in
which some 93 books have been written and work over 33 is under way. He
added that they have plans to provide vocational studies in 52 different
fields, but up-to-date they were able to provide studies in 42 fields suchas
agriculture, IT, electronic equipment repairing and tens of other aspects.
In recent 4 months, some 95 scholarships have been provided by different
countries such Kazakistan, Russia and Germany to teachers and students
of the mentioned schools.
Lack of professional teachers and insecurity were the biggest challenges
ahead of MoE, listed by Mr. Ayman. He said some 38 private vocational
education institutes have been functioning in the country and more than
90 have been awarded licenses and they will start their activities in near
future.
He said in coming few years they would try to increase the number of
vocational institutions to 270 and the students’ number to 150,000.
