  • ARTICLE Development of a Gold-Standard Pashto Dataset and a Segmentation App Yan Han and Marek Rychlik
    ARTICLE Development of a Gold-standard Pashto Dataset and a Segmentation App Yan Han and Marek Rychlik ABSTRACT The article aims to introduce a gold-standard Pashto dataset and a segmentation app. The Pashto dataset consists of 300 line images and corresponding Pashto text from three selected books. A line image is simply an image consisting of one text line from a scanned page. To our knowledge, this is one of the first open access datasets which directly maps line images to their corresponding text in the Pashto language. We also introduce the development of a segmentation app using textbox expanding algorithms, a different approach to OCR segmentation. The authors discuss the steps to build a Pashto dataset and develop our unique approach to segmentation. The article starts with the nature of the Pashto alphabet and its unique diacritics which require special considerations for segmentation. Needs for datasets and a few available Pashto datasets are reviewed. Criteria of selection of data sources are discussed and three books were selected by our language specialist from the Afghan Digital Repository. The authors review previous segmentation methods and introduce a new approach to segmentation for Pashto content. The segmentation app and results are discussed to show readers how to adjust variables for different books. Our unique segmentation approach uses an expanding textbox method which performs very well given the nature of the Pashto scripts. The app can also be used for Persian and other languages using the Arabic writing system. The dataset can be used for OCR training, OCR testing, and machine learning applications related to content in Pashto.

  • The Impact of Explosive Weapons on Education: a Case Study of Afghanistan
    The Impact of Explosive Weapons on Education: A Case Study of Afghanistan Students in their classroom in Zhari district, Khandahar province, Afghanistan. Many of the school’s September 2021 buildings were destroyed in airstrikes, leaving classrooms exposed. © 2019 Stefanie Glinski The Impact of Explosive Weapons on Education: A Case Study of Afghanistan Summary Between January 2018 and June 2021, the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA) identified over 200 reported attacks on schools, school students and personnel, and higher education in Afghanistan that involved explosive weapons. These attacks injured or killed hundreds of students and educators and damaged or destroyed dozens of schools and universities. In the first six months of 2021, more attacks on schools using explosive weapons were reported than in the first half of any of the previous three years. Explosive weapons were used in an increasing proportion of all attacks on education since 2018, with improvised explo- sive devices most prevalent among these attacks. Attacks with explosive weapons also caused school closures, including when non-state armed groups used explosive weapons to target girls’ education. Recommendations • Access to education should be a priority in Afghanistan, and schools and universities, as well as their students and educators, should be protected from attack. • State armed forces and non-state armed groups should avoid using explosive weapons with wide-area effects in populated areas, including near schools or universities, and along routes to or from them. • When possible, concerned parties should make every effort to collect and share disaggregat- ed data on attacks on education involving explosive weapons, so that the impact of these attacks can be better understood, and prevention and response measures can be devel- oped.

  • Afghanistan-Pakistan Activities Quarterly Report XII (July-August-September 2005) Sustainable Development of Drylands Project IALC-UIUC
    Afghanistan-Pakistan Activities Quarterly Report XII (July-August-September 2005) Sustainable Development of Drylands Project IALC-UIUC Introduction: Although specific accomplishments will be detailed below, a principal output this quarter was the Scope of Work (SoW) for fiscal year 2006 (FY 06), i.e. October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006. The narrative portion of the SoW is attached to this report. Readers will note that this submission, which went to IALC headquarters on September 2, presents the progress made by our component thus far and the work ahead of us during year three of the current Cooperative Agreement and year four of the component we have titled “Human Capacity Development for the Agriculture Sector in Afghanistan”. The “Organized Short Courses” section of our FY 06 SoW states our intention to use core funds allocated through the Cooperative Agreement to support four one-month technical courses at an all-inclusive cost of $50,000 per course. As has been done in past years, we were planning to combine core funds with supplemental funds from other sources, allowing us to offer the usual six to eight short courses per year. We were informed by the Project Director that there would be a redistribution of core funds and a reduction in our allocation, from $375,000 in FY 05 to $300,000 this year. If these funds are not restored in full or in part, either from the core or additional Mission buy-in, this budget reduction will add significantly to the challenges we face in FY06 because we will need to generate this short course support from other sources.

  • ACKU Box Library Extension (Afghanistan)
    ACKU Box Library Extension (Afghanistan) Programme Overview Programme Title: ACKU Box Library Extension (ABLE) Implementing organization: Afghanistan Centre at Kabul University Language of Instruction: Farsi, Pashto Date of Inception: 1996 Funding: USAID implemented through the Asia Foundation, the Dupree Foundation, British Council, Foundation to Promote Open Society and City, University of London, Royal Norwegian Embassy and US Embassy in Kabul. Annual Programme Cost: Over USD 200,000 Country Context According to Article 43 of the Constitution of Afghanistan (2004), all citizens of Afghanistan are guaranteed the right to free education up to the Bachelor of Arts level. The transitional Afghan government has made tremendous efforts to realize this right and to rebuild the country. In 2001, the transitional Afghan government pledged to take the necessary steps towards the resurrection of the country’s education system at the International Conference on Afghanistan in Bonn, Germany. Furthermore, at the World Education Forum in Dakar (2000), Afghanistan pledged the commitment to the six goals of the Education for All (EFA) movement, which are linked to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Subsequently, the EFA goals and the MDGs have informed the Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS) (2008-2013), a policy framework, and the National Education Strategic Plans from 2017 to 2021) (MoE, 2015, p. 2). The implementation of the ANDS has resulted in the improvement of education indicators significantly. In particular, the female youth literacy rate increased from 29 percent in 2005 to 48 percent in 2012 and the male literacy rate increased from 43 percent in 2005 to 64 percent in 2012 (MoE, 2015, p.

  • Afghanistan Centre at Kabul University
    Afghanistan Centre at Kabul University Nation Building through Information Sharing 1 ABOUT ACKU The Afghanistan Centre at Kabul University (ACKU), formerly the ACBAR Resource and Information Centre (ARIC), as envisioned by Professor Louis Dupree, was established in Peshawar (Pakistan) in 1989. Professor Louis Dupree often stated that his ambition was to understand Afghanistan “from one cell up” and during the 1970s, the Dupree home in Kabul was filled with Afghan and inter- national scholars and students exchanging knowledge and ideas. During the war years, Louis gained new insights while traveling across the border from Peshawar; meanwhile, Nancy Hatch Du- pree kept track of happenings among the world’s largest refugee population. Here was history in the making, a crucial component of Afghan heritage that desperately needed to be recorded. Louis then launched the idea of a resource centre that would preserve information from a wide variety of sources on every aspect of this traumatic period. Following Professor Louis’s death in 1989, Nancy picked up the reins. Time Photo: Magazine In 2005, Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, then Chancellor of the Kabul University, provided temporary space in the University’s Main Library. In 2007, President Karzai authorized development funds to be made available from the Government’s budget for the con- struction of a new facility at the University Campus. In 2007, the Dupree Foundation was established in New York to support the program in Afghanistan (http://dupreefoundation.org). 2 Photo: David Gill David Photo: On 27 March 2013 ACKU inaugurated the new building, located analyses, unique documents charting the struggle for women’s at the center of the Kabul University Campus.

  • Institutional Embeddedness of Gender Equality and Quality Education in Afghanistan: a Case of Higher Education Institutes in Kabul
    Institutional Embeddedness of Gender Equality and Quality Education in Afghanistan: A Case of Higher Education Institutes in Kabul Sajida Muhammad Tayyeb1 Dad Allah Haidari 2 Fariha3 Abstract The emergency of “gender equality” has been a repercussion of feminism movement back in 1980s. Subsequently, it has been a prime consideration in all disciplines with quality education in particular. Diverse definitions of quality education have been surfacing in literature and highlight the embededness of gender equality in dimensions and spheres of quality. As a matter of global concern and Sustainability Development Goals (SDG), both gender equality and quality education underpin uniform prominence. Most importantly, Afghanistan as an underdeveloped country lacks research work and practical implementation of SDGs with discrete emphasis on women empowerment and educational standards. This article, therefore, attempts to explore the institutional embededness of gender equality and quality education in Afghanistan. It furnishes an in-depth analysis of the institutional intersection of both areas in general, and experiences of quality education in the gendered lives of lecturers and students in particular. Followed by a critical review of literature, researchers have conducted semi-structured interviews from a number of lecturers and students in higher education institutes operating in Kabul, Afghanistan. This will spur the perspicacity of gendered challenges endured by both lecturers and students in terms of quality education in Afghanistan. Keywords: Sustainable Development Goals, Women Empowerment, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Afghanistan. 1 Lecturer, Faculty of Economics, Kardan University, Kabul, Afghanistan. 2 Lecturer, Faculty of Economics, Kardan University, Kabul, Afghanistan. 3 Student, Bachelor in Business Administration, Kardan University, Kabul, Afghanistan. Introduction Multitudinous theoretical studies highlight the importance of equality from last three decades; however, it has merely resulted in a contrasting perception of equality.

  • Pakistan and Afghanistan Librarianship
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 073 813 LI 004 261 AUTHCR Harvey, John F. TITLE Pakistan and Afghanistan Librariansh PUB DATE 68 NOTE 12p.;(1 References) ECRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS Developing Nations; Foreign Countries; *Librarians; Libraries; Library Associations; *Library Education; *Library Facilities; *Library Schools; *Library Science; Public Libraries; School Libraries; Special Libraries IDENTIFIERS Afghanistan; Iran; *Librarianship; Pakistan AESTPACT In March and April 1968, the author was a guest the U.S. Information Service on a two week trip to Pakistan and Afghanistan. During this stay, 30 libraries in five cities were visited. This paper describes this trip and relates the library happenings in these countries. It was obvious that Pakistan librarianship had advanced beyond the profession in either Iran or Afghanistan. There were many more librarians, more of them capable, more curiosity about foreign ideas, more concern for the present, larger book collections, larger buildings, more library schools, more active library associations, and more library publication. Yet all of this development has occurred in university and special libraries, not in school or public libraries, typical of Southwest Asia. And the picture seemed to be standing still or else moving ahead very slowly, as if the librarians had been trained before the nation was ready to support them. There seemed to be no evidence of a surge forward in public libraries,-as there was in Iran or of major budget support for university libraries as there was in Ankara. Furthermore, the problem of over population had to be dealt with successfully or there would never be per capita improvement.
