The Decline of Youth Interest in University Entrance Examinations 23 Jul 2024
The Decline of Youth Interest in University Entrance Examinations With the gender-specific focus of the higher education system and evaluation of teaching methodologies, fewer boys are inclined to participate in university entrance examinations. A cursory glance at the statistics of candidates for the entrance exam reveals a notable decline in participation since the return of the Taliban to power. In addition to the denial of educational rights for girls, the restrictions on the individual freedoms of boys and the mass exodus of university faculty have collectively contributed to a diminished interest among young males in taking the entrance examination. The lack of engagement with global academic institutions and the absence of influential figures as educators within the country's universities have severely diminished the educational standards in these academic establishments. Currently, these universities could be characterized as centers for indoctrinating youth through the promotion of ideological programs synonymous with the regime. Overall, it can be stated that Afghanistan’s universities, like other sectors, have suffered significant quantitative and qualitative setbacks over the past three years, leading to a disheartening climate for the new generation. While women have been barred from attending university when considering the educational methodologies employed—which often promote extremism and violence—keeping women away from such institutions may effectively mitigate the psychological warfare propagated by the Taliban. Over the past three years, the Taliban's focus on education has been confined solely to the expansion of religious schools, with many facilities, including several university dormitories, transformed into such institutions. These schools have largely become breeding grounds for new recruits for the Taliban. The announcement of university entrance examination results can be aptly described as a celebration for boys and a day marked by tears for girls, as the exam has devolved into a battleground for male rivalry. Ultimately, it can be concluded that the policies of the ruling group in Afghanistan have led to a diminished presence of youth in this examination. Unless the authorities express a willingness to reassess their examination methods, reform the educational system, lift restrictions on the individual freedoms of boys, and recognize the of girls in the examination, this unfortunate trend—its most profound by the nation's youth—will persist.
