Abstract

In Afghanistan, women face numerous socio-cultural and infrastructural barriers limiting their access to higher education. The advancement of online educational technology offers a promising avenue to empower Afghan women academically by providing flexible and accessible learning opportunities. This study explores the role of online education in enhancing academic access, confidence, and career prospects for women, while identifying the challenges and cultural perceptions that influence their participation. A quantitative research design was employed, surveying 160 female students from the Medical, Computer Science, Education, and Economics faculties at Vision Education and Research Institute. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale to assess participants’ experiences with online learning. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted to examine trends in access, confidence, challenges, cultural acceptability, and perceived effectiveness. The results indicate that a majority of participants reported improved access to education and increased academic confidence through online learning. However, significant challenges such as unstable internet connections and limited access to suitable devices were prevalent. Cultural acceptance varied, with many respondents indicating general support but some experiencing resistance in their communities. Despite these obstacles, most participants perceived online education as effective in helping achieve their academic and career goals. In conclusion, online educational technology plays a crucial role in empowering Afghan women, though infrastructural and cultural barriers remain. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions is essential to maximize the benefits of online learning and promote gender equality in Afghan higher education.

Abstract

Female education is a critical factor influencing social and economic development in Afghanistan, yet numerous cultural, economic, and infrastructural barriers continue to limit girls’ access to education. This study explores the impact of female education on community development in Afghanistan, aiming to identify the key benefits, challenges, and effective strategies to enhance educational access for women. The research employed a quantitative methodology, collecting data through structured questionnaires distributed electronically via WhatsApp, email, and Facebook. A total of 110 female students aged 20 to 25 from Vision Higher Education and Research Institute, representing Medical, Computer Science, and Education faculties, participated in the study. The findings indicate that female education significantly contributes to leadership opportunities, poverty reduction, improved health outcomes, and economic growth within Afghan communities. However, cultural norms and traditions remain the most significant barriers, alongside security concerns and economic hardship. Participants identified building more schools, promoting e-learning, and community awareness programs as effective methods to improve female educational access. Additionally, technology plays a multifaceted role in facilitating flexible learning, expanding educational resources, and empowering women through entrepreneurial skill development. In conclusion, the study underscores that female education is a powerful catalyst for community development in Afghanistan but is constrained by complex social and infrastructural challenges. Addressing these obstacles requires comprehensive strategies that combine infrastructure development, technological integration, and socio-cultural engagement. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders committed to advancing female education and fostering sustainable development in Afghanistan.
