Abstract

After 17 years of international support, it is evident that the economic empowerment agenda of government and the international community has not been successful in Afghanistan. This is because along with other factors, in most cases focus groups did not have the basic knowledge and understanding of entrepreneurship. To turn this failure to success, as the first step an Entrepreneurship Course should be added in the curriculum of the high school in Afghanistan. Social Fabric Metrics (SFM) is used to conceptually examines how teaching this course in high school can play a constructive role in social and economic life of youth in Afghanistan. After visualizing the effects of this subject through SFM, one can understand that this course will be the foundation and beginning of a national agenda for entrepreneurship development which leads to a productive and innovative private sector, job creation, enhancing the role of law, wealth accumulation as well as a momentum for sustainable peace and development in Afghanistan.
