The major factors in contemporary Middlee Eastern Politics:

100M people between ages 15-29

Access to Education is 70%Unemployment > 25% for

Men ages 15-24Over 50% of men between 25-

29 are unmarried

The Human Network17

Is intended to support our differences not diminish them; we should be proud of our respective backgrounds;

Education is not the imposition of one ideology nor is it the control of another.

Discovery. Respect. Tolerance.

This is my driving interest in Afghanistan & Bakhtar University

BAKHTAR UNIVERSITY, Kabul, AF

First private higher education institution in Afghanistan

Founded in 2005; Chartered 2007Established Academic Bridge Relationships with:

Kabul Polytechnic University Association of Certified Chartered Accountant Indira Gandhi National Open University

Afghanistan: War & Reconstruction19

Afghanistan has been stricken in a three decades of war.

The return of peace and the subsequent installation of elected government in Afghanistan, with the active support of international community, has laid out the foundation for establishing private higher education institutions.

Considering the present situation of Afghanistan and keeping in mind the role of education and the millennium development goals (MDGs) and in the Afghan National Development Strategy (ANDS), education is one of the most important goals of the government Islamic republic of Afghanistan ,In this connection, Bakhtar University has been established.
