A New Start for Afghanistan's Education Sector
Asian Development Bank | April 2003
Abstract
The Afghan education system has been undermined by 23 years of war, widespread physical destruction, restructuring under a communist regime, and its use as a political and religious pawn by succeeding governments. In December 2001, several external funding agencies, led by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), completed a preliminary needs assessment for recovery and reconstruction of Afghanistan. This was presented at the ADB Ministerial Meeting held in January 2002 in Tokyo. A comprehensive needs assessment was prepared in February–April 2002 to provide an in-depth assessment of the education sector, identify critical priorities and sequencing for recovery, and come up with quick, high-impact projects that could be implemented immediately.
