U.S. Government to Support Ministry of Higher Education’s Kankor Exam Reform

For Immediate Release:  Kabul, Afghanistan | Oct. 13 – United States Ambassador P. Michael McKinley, on behalf of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the American people, presented the Ministry of Higher Education with $275,000 worth of equipment that will support the Ministry’s reform agenda for the national public university entry exam, known as the Kankor.

USAID is providing the Ministry with digital multifunctional printers, optical mark reader scanners, and heavy duty scanners, and is training staff on how to operate them. This equipment will help the Ministry improve the efficiency of printing and scoring exams.

The new equipment greatly reduces opportunities for fraud and can significantly increase the transparency and productivity of the Kankor process.  Increasing the exam’s transparency supports critical Afghan reforms to improve governance and the delivery of education services.- Read More at USAID
