| Abstract: | This study examines the profound impact of the political shift on the Afghanistan higher education, particularly focusing on the experiences and perspectives of academics staff. Through in-depth interviews with 12 university academics, the research highlights critical challenges for improvement, such as the potential for standardising higher education, addressing inclusive education, fostering hope and resilience, alleviating financial and psychological concerns, promoting equitable treatment between new and pre-shift staff, and creating opportunities to encourage academics to stay and contribute positively within the country. The findings underscore the necessity for the new leadership to revise its strategy by appointing qualified staff who can address the aforementioned challenges to prevent the isolation of Afghanistan's higher education institutions. To foster resilience and stability in higher education, it is crucial for AHE and other regions affected by violence to implement these strategies. |
