Global Learning Portal - Afghanistan Higher Education Portal (HEP) Home

Introduction

Welcome to the Afghanistan Higher Education Project portal! The portal provides faculty of education members in Afghanistan with learning resources and networking tools to support professional development.

The Afghanistan Higher Education Project (HEP) is part of an overall USAID program to rehabilitate and strengthen the capacity of the education system to improve access to quality education throughout Afghanistan. HEP supports this broader objective by building sustainable capacity at the tertiary level to deliver high quality pre-service and in-service teacher education for secondary school teachers. The project is designed to deliver improvements in the quality of teacher training and academic administration through training and support. The project focuses on long-term sustainable change through strengthening the human resource base and institutional capacity.
