Indiana University Conference on Strategic Planning of Higher
Education for Afghanistan
As an important
part of Indiana University's new initiative to support the
reconstruction of higher education system in post-war
Afghanistan, a conference on "Strategic Planning of Higher
Education for Afghanistan" convened October 6-7, 2002 on IU Bloomington
campus. The central aim of this effort is to bring a small group
of highly experienced former officials of Kabul University (now
living in the US), representatives of the current Afghan Ministry
of Higher Education, current faculty and administrators of universities
in Afghanistan (both from Kabul and provinces), representatives
of the Embassy of Afghanistan in Washington, D.C., and a number
of Afghan and Afghan-American scholars working in the American
universities to discuss and articulate a strategic plan for post
war higher education in Afghanistan. The primary goal of this
gathering is to avail an opportunity for higher education professionals
from Afghanistan to engage in a concerted effort to plan for the
future higher education needs of their own nation at this critical
moment in the history of Afghanistan. On the latter part of the
second day of the Conference, the Afghan group will share their
recommendations on a strategic plan for rebuilding higher education
in post-Taliban Afghanistan with a group of Indiana University
faculty and administrators (as well as other interested parties
from the Foundations or US government and international organizations)
and solicit their input.
