AB  - Abstract 
The advancements in science, engineering and technologies during the last few centuries have enormously promoted the development of the education in many parts of the world. Such educational development has consequently improved the quality of life and brought prosperity to these areas. However, not every part of the world benefited from such educational development, especially areas which have been affected by wars and instabilities where the standard of life has not improved at the same rate
The vast majority of less developed countries adopt either the US or European style of engineering education without careful consideration of the needs of the local population, economy and environment and the existence of suitable local industries. Therefore, such educational systems may be less productive and prove ineffective.  
In this paper, an investigation is undertaken to carefully evaluate the quality and relevance of the science, engineering and technology education in Afghanistan. The paper is focused on the following issues:
a.	The style (US or European) of the science, engineering and technology education adopted in Afghanistan
b.	The relevance of the science, engineering and technology education to the local economic development and future prosperity 
Establishing a suitable scientific and engineering educational system is a major challenge for less developed countries, especially countries which have been affected by wars and instabilities. This paper provides recommendations addressing these challenges which will lead the less developed countries towards a better, more self-sufficient future.
