Afghan universities are losing their scholars and students

I agree this is an absolute tragedy. I worked with the Ministry of Higher Education for several years before the Taliban takeover and there was a great feeling of progress and optimism as the quality of the university offerings rapidly increased. Now all of that is being discarded. The most tragic aspect of all is the removal of educational opportunities for women. My Afghan colleagues are now dispersed around the world trying to make new lives for themselves and their families but they still watch from afar and are filled with sadness.
