Afghanistan's Minister of Higher Education Obaidullah Obaid criticised the curriculum and lesson plans of private higher education institutions on Wednesday, saying that they are not in accordance with the Ministry's guidelines.
Obaid added that the ability of the private higher education institutions to pay professors higher salaries than the government-run education systems was proving a "major problem" for the government.
"This activity of the private universities has caused hundreds of government-run university professors to quit their jobs and join them which has created a major problem for us," he said at a two-day capacity building seminar in Kabul.
He urged the institutions to pay more attention to the quality of lessons, equipment, and professional standards and warned them of serious action if they do not follow the Ministry's principals and curriculum guidelines.
