Greetings from the SAE President

Dear SAE Colleagues Salaam:

In the last three months, the Society of Afghan Engineers’ (SAE’) Executive Committee and the Board of Directors have had several joint meetings to discuss important issues of concern and challenges facing the Society membership.

The Executive Committee together with volunteer members of the Society have been working on the proposed idea of creating a Licensing Board for Architects and Engineers. The idea was originally initiated by H.E. President Ashraf Ghani at my meeting with him three years ago. We envisioned creating an Institute of Architects and Engineers in Afghanistan, similar to the American Society of Civil Engineers. After several meetings with SAE members, we decided that the focus first should be on creating a Board of Licensing. Once this Board gets off the ground, and policies and procedures are adopted with the full support of the Afghan Government, then we can focus more broadly on establishing an Institute.

Last month, SAE member and former President of the Society of Afghan Architects and Engineers (SAAE), Dr. Zabihullah Mojaddidy, was visiting Washington, D.C. Members of the Society had a lengthy discussion with him on the previously agreed idea of having a joint conference and training session with our Kabul colleagues.

The Society is also contemplating having a joint networking and roundtable gathering with other Afghan organizations this fall, to expand cooperation and build new alliances to better serve the Afghan community here in the United States and perhaps, when appropriate, inside Afghanistan.

I wish everyone and wonderful and happy summer.

Sincerely,

Atiq Panjshiri, President
The Society of Afghan Engineers

An Interview with Mr. Hamidullah Farooqi, Chancellor, Kabul University

By: A. Manan Khalid, P.E., LEED AP (BD+C)

Professor Hamidullah Farooqi, an economist and political activist, has been the Chancellor of Kabul University and an advisor to the President of Afghanistan since August 2016. He was born in an intellectual family in Herat, Afghanistan in 1954. He received his BA in National Economy from Kabul University in 1976, and MA in Economics from Queens College, City University of New York, in 1995.

In 1979, he resigned from public service in Afghanistan and turned his attention to private business. Eventually, like many other Afghans, he was compelled to migrate to Pakistan and later to the United States of America.

Professor Farooqi returned to his home country in 2002. In 2003, he joined the Faculty of Economics of Kabul University as a lecturer, and since then, has played a major role in the higher education of the country. Since his return to Afghanistan, Prof. Farooqi has been involved in establishing private schools and universities, business communities and private sector institutions, academic institutions and associations, and social councils.

He has written many academic articles in economics and politics, which were published in national and international academic journals and publications. He has actively participated and represented Afghanistan in many national, regional, and international conferences, seminars, and other events.

He has played an active role in peace conferences and national events. In addition to his occupation as a professor, he has served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Afghanistan International Chamber of Commerce (AICC), Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bank-e-Millie Afghan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Khana-e-Noor Private Schools and University, President of Logar Province People’s Council, and as chairman and member of the academic association of Breshna Think Tank institution. He also served as Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation of Afghanistan in 2009-2010.

In his recent national engagements, Prof. Farooqi has led the Oversight Commission on the Logistic Contracts of the Ministry of Defense based on a Presidential Decree which led to the development of “Famous Farooqi Report” and comprehensive reform in Ministry of Defense. In addition to that, Prof. Farooqi has led several reforming agendas of the National Unity Government, such as, High Delegation for Comprehensive Evaluation and Reform of Herat Province, Kabul Bank Case Evaluation, Reduction of Parallel Administrations in Sectorial Ministries, and several other national and public events.

Prof. Farooqi is married and has four children. He is fluent in Pashto, Dari, and English languages.

It is a pleasure to interview such an accomplished public figure for the readers of the SAE eNewsletter. Following are the interview questions (Q) and Mr. Farooqi’s responses (R).

(Q) Thank you for agreeing to set for this interview. Please briefly explain to our readers about yourself, your hobbies and anything else of your personal life that you might see fit for inclusions in this newsletter.

(R) Initially I would like to convey my regards to you and the readers of SAE eNewsletter. Regarding me, you already written enough about me and my life here I would like to add to my hobbies and interests. I am primarily interested in reading, teaching, attending social, academic, and political events and gatherings, and Tourism. Moreover, visiting the Friends and Family and addressing people’s problems give me unique satisfaction.

(Q) You have too many responsibilities. How do you manage your time and what is the biggest challenge of your position as the chancellor?

(R) Most of my responsibilities have been shaped in different periods of my life and most of my activities have been honorary and volunteer which, in fact, don’t require much time. I am currently responsible for delivering Lectures, administering Kabul University and advising the president on higher education. I usually do the other social and leisure activities on my free time and weekends.

(Q) How many private and public universities and higher educational institutions are currently operating in Afghanistan? What is your take on the state of the private universities and what is the licensing process for establishing such institutions?

(R) At the moment, 37 public Universities operates across the country where, four of them are located in the capital city of Kabul and the rest of 33 are the provincial Universities. Kabul University is known as the Parent University in Country. We have 4 regional Universities (UNIs) 1) Herat University; 2) Kandahar University; 3) Nangarhar University and 4) Balkh University. These four Regional UNIs control the academic affairs of the relevant provincial UNIs.

On Private UNIs, currently there are 136 private UNIs in Afghanistan established throughout the country while a large proportion of it (56 Universities) are based in Kabul.

According to the National Higher Education Law of Afghanistan, the procedure to establish a UNI is clearly defined. There are certain criteria to fulfill in order to establish a UNI in private sector.

(Q) As you know, in the west, private universities have higher reputation than public universities. How do you compare private and public universities in Afghanistan?

(R) The establishment of Private UNIs are quite new and dates back to only 12 years from today. Laws and Procedures within Ministry of Higher Education are evolving by the passage of time and new procedures and bylaws are passed to assure the quality of higher education, especially within the private sector. For instance, the Quality Assurance Framework 2017 is just revised to obtain suitability and practicality in terms of controlling higher education system in Afghanistan. There are some good Private universities and certainly there are some that needs serious attention or requires strict monitoring. The Private Universities are constantly nurturing their quality of education and are in a better state in comparison to 12 years ago.

(Q) Kabul University is the oldest educational institution for higher learning in Afghanistan. What is the role of Kabul University in shaping and standardizing the curriculum of other Universities in Afghanistan?

(R) As you stated, KU is the largest and oldest university in the country meanwhile being the most reputable one. We play a significant role in processing, advising and providing consultation to other universities in terms of their curriculum and academic staff criterion.

Very recently, KU has revised its curriculum for both social and natural sciences considering the OBE – SCL (Outcome Based Education and Student-Centered Learning) Model that will be revised within next 3-4 years again. Almost all the university considers KU’s Curriculum as model to implement within their universities.

(Q) How many colleges are currently part of the Kabul University?

(R) Currently 21 faculties, 104 departments, two research and one judiciary centers at Kabul University are operational.

(Q) Is Kabul University considered an accredited University by international standards? If not, what are the plans to make it accredited and what steps need to be taken to reach that status?

(R) Unfortunately, Kabul University is not accredited internationally yet. The three decades of consecutive war in the country devastated almost all academic infrastructure of the KU. However, now, we are in a very good condition in terms of academic staff and resources.

As planned, KU has fulfilled the requirements to apply for “QS World Ranking”. We will submit our initial report to this organization in September that will give us the advantage of being Internationally Accredited by the end of 2018.

(Q) Is Kabul University offering higher degrees (MS, PhD)? If not, is there plan for such degrees in the future?

(R) At the moment, Kabul University is offering 16 MA Programs and 2 PhD Programs. Meanwhile, we have requested launching 10 further MA programs, which are pending for Ministry of Higher Education’s Approval.

(Q) How do you compare the current state of Kabul University to when you were student at this university?

(R) In terms of quantity, Physical infrastructure (buildings, laboratories, technological equipment) and Academic Relation with domestic and international universities, Kabul University is in a stronger position than 50’s and 60’s. However, limitation of budget, lack of academia, financial and administrative independence and political pressures and interferences disrupt the standards of students and facilities, which were a privilege during the years when I was student.

(Q) What is your vision for Kabul University in a decade from now, and what plans do you have to present capable future leaders and educated working men and women to the Afghan society?

(R) My Vision is very clear for Kabul University:
* Transformation of the University from Traditional to Technology based University.
* Turning KU to a research university.
* Focus more on establishing market based departments and subjects
* Adopting latest models and updating our curriculums time to time

To achieve these targets stated above, we have a 5 years’ strategic plan which is revised and developed once in 5 years.

(Q) How many engineering students receive admission to the Faculty of Engineering on yearly basis, and how many graduates? How do you evaluate the state of the Faculty of Engineering and the overall technical needs of the country?

(R) We accept students based on available seats every year. As an average we enroll 180 students to the Engineering Faculty each year and they graduate with an average of 12% drop out which is high level of graduation. We have a total of 800 students currently studying in different departments of Faculty of Engineering.

In terms of academic quality and excellence, Engineering Faculty is one of the best and leading faculties at Kabul University and it is always delivering to what is demanded.

(Q) What type of affiliation exists between public and private universities? Is Kabul University a role model to other universities across Afghanistan?

(R) We have more than 60 Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) signed with foreign public and private universities for academic affiliation and exchange programs and more than 20 MoUs in place with the domestic public and private universities assist them nurture with academic affairs, academic management and student-lecturer exchange programs.

(Q) How is the faculty recruitment process and how different it is from 30 years ago? Is Kabul University attracting and hiring qualified Afghans with higher graduate degrees (MS, and PHDs)?

(R) We have National Law for Higher Education and the recruitment process of the faculty members in all public universities are stated in that law. The recruitment takes place on the basis of needs declared by the relevant department and is processed by Faculty, University and going up to the Ministry of Higher Education.

Indeed, the intention is to hire highly qualified young individuals and in the recent years, a major proportion of recruitment took place where the individuals were MA and PhD degree holders. We still don’t have enough PhDs holders but we are committed to nurture the educational level of our academic staff.

(Q) Does Kabul University provide input to the recruitment process and qualification of faculty at other Universities of Afghanistan?

(R) We process the recruitment of faculty members only for our affiliated public universities but if we are requested by Ministry of Higher Education, we provide the services to other public universities as well.

(Q) Is the promotional process of the academic ranking of professors uniform and per established and approved criteria across all the universities?

(R) Yes, the promotional process of academic ranking is standard for all public universities whereas there is no law for private universities in place currently.

(Q)What is the retirement age of faculty at the Kabul University?

(R) As per the National Higher Education Law, 65 Years is the retiring age for any professors.

(Q) Is there any plan to attract former professors who are living abroad on short-term basis? What type of assistance can the University provide for them? There is a lot of experience related knowledge that can be very useful, specifically to the Faculty of Engineering.

(R) We have developed the visiting professor/faculty concept and is in final stages. We believe that once it is passed and approved by the cabinet of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, it will facilitate the recruitment of visiting faculty in-house and from abroad on short term basis.

(Q) How is the trend of job market in the last few years for new graduates in Afghanistan?

(R) Despite the fact that unemployment is at its rise in Afghanistan, Kabul University graduates are prioritized when hiring in comparison to other public and private universities.

(Q) Are the graduates of Kabul University better prepared for job market in comparison with the graduates of other higher educational institutions in the country? Why or why not?

(R) Indeed! Kabul University, in assistance with international organizations has a career consultation center for students which helps them nurture their soft skills as per the market demand and trains them in several fields which help them find a quick job after graduation. Unfortunately, this service is not available to students in other public universities. Meanwhile Kabul University Professors participate in more trainings and personnel development programs that give the students a chance of getting up to date knowledge.

(Q) Are weekend and nighttime classes offered by the University for those who work during the day to receive or complete their higher education degrees?

(R) Yes, we offer Evening Classes both for under graduate and post graduate levels.

(Q) Does Kabul University have any affiliation or consortium with American or European universities? How do you see this type of relationship/collaboration adding value?

(R) Since the establishment of this university, we always had affiliations with American and Europeans universities, which are updated time to time. These affiliations are very helpful and has always improved our educational system and curriculum. We recently signed an agreement with MIT, EdX, Arizona University and California State University in the USA in various fields.

(Q) How often Kabul University offers seminars and conferences to increase technical and overall capabilities of the government and private sector employees?

(R) Very frequently. Last year, we offered more than 24 national and international seminars to academia, community members, and to the employees of the public and private sector.

(Q) Please share with the readers of the Newsletter anything else that we have not asked, but you would like to share. Any words of advice for the readers abroad?

(R) Thank you for setting the interview and I appreciate the Society of Afghan Engineers in the United States of America (Many of them who were graduated from this University) for thinking about academic institutions of Afghanistan. I would request the Society members as well as the readers of the SAE eNewsletter to share their academic and professional opinions and experiences to nurture the educational quality of Kabul University, which indeed, has been the study home for many elites in the country, including members of your Society.

At the end, I would like to thank Eng. Manan Khalid and his colleagues for setting this interview.

Author/Interviewer Comment: On behalf of the SAE eNewsletter Subcommittee and its Editorial Board, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to you for the time that you took from your busy schedule to have an interview with me. During the interview and our discussions, you provided invaluable information related to the status of higher education in general and the status of the oldest higher educational institution, the Kabul University in Afghanistan.

Obituary of Dr. Abdul Jamil, former Professor of Kabul University

It is with sorrow that Dr. Abdul Jamil, former professor of the Faculty of Engineering of Kabul University, has passed away. It is with heavy heart that we must share this sad news with the readers of the SAE eNewsletter. The Society of Afghan Engineers express their condolences to Jamil family.

Dr. Abdul Jamil was born in Kabul on February 19 of the year 1939. He attended Habibia High School and received his BS degree from the Faculty of Engineering of Kabul University. He went on to receive his MS degree from Utah State University in 1968 and his PhD in Agricultural Engineering from Colorado State University in 1975.

Upon completion of his PhD, he returned to Afghanistan and taught at the Faculty of Engineering from 1976 to 1980. He immigrated to the United States in 1980 with his family. First, resided in Colorado and worked with the state agricultural sector until 1982. Then, he moved to Auburn, Alabama, and taught at the Auburn University until 1984. In the same year, Dr. Jamil relocated to NYC and made the city his permanent home. He began a new chapter of his life in New York City by working with the New York City Social Services Department up until his retirement in 2005. He enjoyed his retirement by visiting family and friends around the world.

On the evening of May 7, 2018 while going for his routine walk near his house in NYC, he was struck by a vehicle, and passed away shortly thereafter at the hospital. Dr. Jamil leaves behind his wife, two sons and four grandchildren. May his soul rest in heavens.
