AB  -            The Leadership of Science and Engineering Education in AfghanistanAbstractThe development in Science, Engineering and Technologies has revolutionized the world andhas significantly improved the quality of life in the more developed countries. However, thereal benefits of these developments have not reached the people of less developed countries;in particular the impact is the lowest amongst the war torn countries such as Afghanistan,Somalia and etc. Since the intervention of the international community in the recent years,attempt has been made to improve the education system in Afghanistan with limited success.However, the fundamental issues have not been fully resolved. One of the main issues thathave been identified is the lack of strong leadership at the higher education sector in thecountry, specifically at the major universities and educational establishments.The challenging world needs a new type of leaders, who do not simply issue orders butempower others and creates alliances to realize a vision. Though, such a vision has not beenwidely shared amongst the decision makers in Afghanistan according to the authorexperience. At present, the higher education in the subjects of science, engineering andtechnology is in a fragile state and therefore, there is a need for strong leadership which canintroduce major changes and establish the links between these crucial subjects anddevelopment in the country. Such improvement can drastically affect the development in thatpart of the world which is essential to revitalize the economy and eventually improve thequality of life of the people over there.The author strongly believe that leadership ought to be one of the main themes beside otherissues in order to establish a viable higher education system in Afghanistan that is capable toaddress the challenges that exist in the country.This paper will present the result of an investigation to identify the main obstacles in themanagement practices which are related to improve the capabilities of senior managers atUniversities in Afghanistan. Furthermore, recommendations will be made on how to applyinternational standards in the training, selection and recruitment process of the seniormanagers with the aim to enhance the standard of education particularly in science,engineering and technologies.
