Afghan Embassy in Tehran Calls for Easier Educational Services for Afghan Students
Fazl Mohammad Haqqani, the chargé d’affaires of the Afghan Embassy in Tehran, held a meeting with Saeed Habiba, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Science and Head of the Student Affairs Organization, to discuss the challenges faced by Afghan students in Iranian universities. The discussion covered issues such as consular challenges, residency permits, tuition fees, and administrative procedures related to their education.
The Afghan envoy highlighted the significant presence of Afghan students in Iranian universities and called for the removal of residency obstacles and the facilitation of educational services, which have caused numerous difficulties for many students.
On the other hand, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Science expressed Tehran’s readiness to expand scientific and educational cooperation and emphasized the need for better coordination between the institutions of both countries to improve the situation of Afghan students.
The large number of Afghan students in Iranian universities in recent years, especially through nationwide entrance exams and scholarships, has been a key issue. Authorities from both countries are actively working to resolve problems related to issuing and renewing student visas, certificate recognition, and tuition fees. Periodic meetings between the Afghan Embassy and Iran’s Ministry of Science continue to streamline the administrative challenges faced by Afghan students.
