About the Event
Kardan University will organize the Second Annual Conference on Higher Education Development in Afghanistan, focusing on student access to finance, on March 31, 2022. Envisaged as a platform for sharing, learning and also of planning, the event will gather national education coalitions, representatives from academia, development partners, researchers, policymakers, government agencies, financial institutions, and students to assess student access to education, exchange experiences, and reimagine the ways forward given the implications on the financing of education.
Participants
The primary aim of the ACHEDA-2022 is to bring together education leaders, researchers, and key actors to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Education Financing. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, opportunities, challenges, and solutions adopted in education financing.
Expected Outcome
The lessons to be learned from the conference will serve as valuable input to scale up and better organize advocacy actions to protect education budgets, ensuring that education is part of recovery programs and equitable and inclusive quality education systems are in place. Furthermore, the expected outcome is to develop an applicable education financing model, enhancing student access to higher education and directly contributing towards the UN SDG 4: Quality Education.
