Description
This is a story of remarkable higher education transformation in the face of almost insurmountable odds—success in a fragile state that began a change process in Afghan higher education in a context of ongoing war and terrorist attacks, lack of funding, rampant corruption, a weak government, a large and unresponsive bureaucracy, and the loss of many of the most well-trained and successful faculty members and administrators due to threats and intimidation. Most of what has been written about Afghanistan has focused on the problems and failures. Higher Education in Afghanistan, on the other hand, has been strikingly successful to date in spite of tremendous obstacles. All this has taken place quietly with no fanfare and almost no recognition in the press, by governments, or most funders. This book explores that process with lessons for us all.
