Education in Kabul

Public and private schools in the city have reopened since 2002 after they were shut down or destroyed during fighting in the 1980s to the late 1990s. Boys and girls are strongly encouraged to attend school under the Karzai administration but many more schools are needed not only in Kabul but throughout the country. The Afghan Ministry of Education has plans to build more schools in the coming years so that education is provided to all citizens of the country. The most well known high schools in Kabul include:

1. Habibia High School, a British-Afghan school founded in 1903 by King Habibullah Khan.
2. Lycée Esteqlal, a Franco-Afghan school founded in 1922.
3. Amani High School, a German-Afghan school for boys founded in 1924.
4. Aisha-i-Durani School, a German-Afghan school for girls.
5. Rahman Baba High School, an American-Afghan school for boys.

The city's colleges and universities were renovated after 2002. Some of them have been developed recently, while others have existed since the early 1900s.
