Afghanistan improved in World Corruption Index, thanks also to the liquidation of Afghanistan Investment Support Agency (AISA)

Transparency International’s latest annual review shows that Afghanistan has taken itself out of the list of the world’s most corrupt countries. Afghanistan has secured 4 additional points in the index in 2016 and is placed 169th position in the rankings table. The report further states that Sudan, Yemen, Libya and South Sudan are the most corrupt countries, while New Zealand and Denmark were tied in 1st place as the world’s cleanest countries, followed by Finland, Switzerland and Sweden.The review added that no country gets close to a perfect score in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2016.

The decision of the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) to impose a ban on the recruitment of foreign lecturers in private universities has provoked concerns. Through an official letter two weeks ago, the Directorate for Private Universities urged all private education institutions not to extend work permits of foreign professors. In order to provide employment opportunities for Afghan youth, the Directorate said Afghans should be recruited in academia instead of foreigners. Najibullah Azad, a lecturer of the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF), said such restriction on foreign professors was an improper move from many aspects, which might hurt the higher education sector. Debarring overseas instructors was not an appropriate way of creating work opportunities for Afghans, Azad believed, calling on the Afghan government to enhance the capacity of graduating students through extracurricular training programs to a level based on which they could contest in an increasingly competit
