The past thirty years of conflict and
political unrest in Afghanistan has decimated the country’s
education system in terms of staffing, premises, curricula,
and student attendance, for both male and female students.
The education sector has been at the forefront of the
political battles and conflicts between competing interest
groups during the wars of resistance and ideological and
ethnic conflicts that have plagued the country over the past
few decades (Changing Profile of Education in Afghanistan,
2013). The changing political ideologies have taken a toll
on the quality of education services and weakened
governance. The current Government is committed to tackling
issues of security, poverty reduction, governance and shared
and inclusive growth. It sees service delivery as playing a
dual role in Afghanistan: promoting social cohesion and
trust in public institutions, while laying the foundation
for job creation and growth. Within the context of increased
fragility that Afghanistan has been experiencing, the
current report aims to provide an up-to-date analysis of the
country’s education sector, including the use of public
expenditures spanning over the past six years. Supported by
recent administrative and household data and using the
information from a primary survey of off-budget funding, the
report provides more insights on key aspects of the
education system performance and provides recommendations
for reforms along the themes of outcomes and expenditures. |
