Low Youth Participation in Kandahar University Entrance Exam

Published 06/07/2024
SHARE

RASC News Agency: In Kandahar, the number of eligible applicants for the annual university entrance exam has significantly declined. This year, only 1,880 young people and high school graduates participated, compared to 5,000 in previous years.

 

For the third consecutive year, the exam was held without female candidates. Ahmad Shah, a participant, noted, “Interest in university education has waned since there is no hope for the future after graduation.”

 

Another participant shared similar sentiments, citing a lack of motivation due to poor job prospects and limited freedom under the current regime. Since the Taliban regained power, many young people have abandoned their studies or chosen to emigrate.

 

Sources from Daykundi province also reported a significant drop in exam participation, despite the province’s historically high numbers.

 

Residents attribute the decline to the lack of job opportunities, meritocracy, and freedom, leading to disinterest in education among the youth.
