Abstract

Monitoring educational infrastructure in conflict-affected countries such as Afghanistan remains critical for understanding social transformation and guiding evidence-based policy. Indeed, rather vital. This study develops an integrated Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) framework to analyze the spatial distribution, growth, and accessibility of educational facilities in Afghanistan between 2020 and 2025. Multi-temporal satellite imagery from Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8/9 was combined with socio-economic datasets, including population density, poverty indicators, and official school records, to map schools and madrasahs, assess accessibility, and identify infrastructure scarcity hotspots (what is more, the combination yielded quite robust results). Accessibility analyses employing urban and rural buffer zones revealed significant disparities, with rural populations facing markedly limited physical access and correspondingly higher educational deprivation. Quite stark, in fact. Multi-criteria hotspot modelling further highlighted those regions where high population demand converges with poor facility quality and teacher shortages, thereby indicating critical service gaps. For that matter, these gaps persist rather stubbornly. Comparative analysis of infrastructure growth versus population expansion demonstrated, quite convincingly, that in many urban and rural areas new school construction has not fully matched demographic demand, thus revealing unmet educational needs. The study emphasises that spatially explicit, data-driven approaches are essential for equitable educational planning and for supporting social transformation in fragile contexts. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, international donors, and planners to prioritise interventions in underserved regions and promote inclusive educational development. Future research could usefully integrate real-time geospatial monitoring and participatory approaches to enhance educational planning and social development strategies further.

Abstract

Blockchain application in educational administrative systems has emerged as a possible way to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in administrative and academic operations. Despite its growing relevance, a systematic review of blockchain applications across public administration and the field of education is not abundant. With this inquiry, we intend to deliver an extensive literature review to highlight trends, benefits and limitations regarding the use of blockchain technology in educational governance and management in the interest of systematically reviewing and reporting empirical studies through the PRISMA methodology. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, consisting of synthesizing relevant literature according to the specification outlined by the PRISMA framework, resulted in 25 quality studies that were published between 2016-2025, selected from various peer-reviewed journals contained within the databases of IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Emerald Publishing, MDPI, and Wiley Online Library. Results of a thematic analysis revealed three significant themes: (1) blockchain enables secure verification of credentials, exchange of credits and green learning teaching learning processes; (2) blockchain supports public sector reform, enhancing transparency and accountability within government bodies; and (3) realization of blockchain technology has been hindered by concerns of cost, scalability, privacy and, resistance to implementation. Overall, this study suggests that blockchain can be catalytic for scaling teaching, learning and administrative processes in education and highlights the need for strategic frameworks in order to overcome technological and organizational challenges.
