can education play a role on decreasing unemployment?

Answer 1

The type of unemployment that is very high in Afghanistan is educated unemployment. Educated unemployment is a type of unemployment in which educated people are unable to find job, they have a degree but that degree does not get them a job. It has ample social, behavioural and psychological impacts. Educated unemployment is due to insufficient job vacancies, deficient economic plans, favouritism and imperfect education system.

This is because Education system of Afghanistan has many faults and it does not match international standards. There is no uniform system of education in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has one of the highest illiteracy rates in the world. More than 11 million Afghans over the age of 15 cannot read or write.

Labour lack certain skills for jobs such as communication skills, analytical skills, knowledge in their respective domains because our education system does not teach these skills. In our institutions teachers teach what they want, not according to requirement of industries.

It can be concluded from above mentioned facts that education is not responsible for unemployment. It is the education system and ways in which education is provided which are responsible for unemployment in Afghanistan. The education system of Afghanistan is not up to date and needs modifications including uniform education system throughout the country, revision of syllabus, student counselling facilities, setup of new vocational and technical institutions and training workshops for teachers. These modification certainly can reduce the rate of unemployment in Afghanistan.
