Kabul Afghanistan: Public universities in Afghanistan are finally set to open in Afghanistan on Saturday, but university students are facing a new challenge: the ‘shortage of teachers’.

Many highly qualified professors of Afghanistan left the country in the past several months. As per the reports, around 270 instructors from Kabul, Herat and Balkh universities have left the country in the last six months.

According to Rabia, a university student, “We are facing a shortage of instructors. Not our faculty, but all faculties are facing an issue. The majority of instructions left the country.

“We are studying only one hour in the class of five hours. We do not have a teacher, or we do not have any idea that our teachers left the country or were dismissed from the university, ” said Mujeeb Rahman, another university student.

At the starting of February, the Taliban regime has requested through an official statement in which they requested to the teachers who left the country to come back.

The Taliban opened their all universities on February 2 with the new rules, norms and regulations of gender segregation and different class shifts for male community and female students. The universities that are located in the colder areas of the country will open from February 27.

In Kabul University, main females from other regions struggle to find accommodation in the capital city. The female students who are living in a dormitory have been told to study from their home or otherwise no need to attend and come to the university.

However, boys have access to the university, but girls don’t have access to a dormitory.

The professors are saying that the Taliban should take guarantees first, such as personal freedom and protection, because they have witnessed that some university teachers live in bad conditions.

The situation caused the university teachers to leave the country.
