KABUL (SW): The Ministry of Higher Education MoHE has acknowledged the fact that the standard of studies both at public and private level was worsening day by day and needed immediate measures for improvement.
Dr. Farida Momand, the minister said this while sketching her 100-day plan here on Sunday. She announced the curriculum would be reviewed and rules of getting scholarships for higher studies abroad would be reformed.
Admitting that rampant corruption in the ministry did deprive many deserving students the chance to excel, the minister said the selection process of students for foreign scholarships would be digitalized to curb chances of corruption and nepotism.
She said that graduated students would be awarded with degrees and certificates immediately after their passing-out unlike the past when students had to wait for weeks to get their degrees. Dr. Momand added that the medium of studies in some faculties would be changed to English to make students competent at world level.
She also vowed to ensure measures to counter harassment of female students in the universities.
