Wiki Education assignment: Introduction to Policy Analysis

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 28 March 2022 and 30 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Hjamshed (article contribs).

Article review

The content of the article was relevant to the topic of education in Afghanistan, as it contained information in regard to the background and history of educational institutions in a variety of regions throughout the country. Nonetheless, given the transition of power to the Taliban in August of 2021, it would be beneficial to include how the regime change impacted education policy for both young men and women.

Furthermore, the author includes an analysis of the multiple challenges surrounding the development of access and policies in regard to primary, secondary, and tertiary schools. Although this subsection is important to the general topic of education in Afghanistan, I found the description of the challenges facing education development to be greatly limited.

The article is written in a neutral tone and each claim made not only has a citation, but there are embedded links throughout the works as well. The resources in the references subsection of the Wikipedia page are reliable. Finally, the article does sufficiently address Wikipedia's equity gaps, as it covers information regarding the Afghan population, and specifically women. These populations are historically underrepresented and misrepresented. Hjamshed (talk) 06:39, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request for a Recent History Section

Education policy within Afghanistan has been impacted by years of war, developing challenges that include a lack of infrastructure, accessibility, and increased violence against the general population. I am suggesting for there to be an addition of recent updates regarding how education policy - primary, secondary, and tertiary - has been influenced by the collapse of the Afghan government and the transition of power to the Taliban in August 2021. These impacts more significantly define the female experience in Afghanistan, although there are effects on the male population as well. Furthermore, in an effort to provide information on intersectional marginalized communities, there must be a further exploration of ethnic minorities and their acmess to education in Afghanistan more recently. In including this information, however, the author must be sure to refrain from inputting any personal opinions in an effort to maintain the neutrality of their tone.
