Detail InformationEdit

Kabul University (KU) is located in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. It was founded in 1931 but officially opened for classes in 1932. Kabul University is currently attended by approximately 7,000 students, of which 1,700 are women. As of 2008, Hamidullah Amin is the chancellor of the university. The university is still recovering from the long period of war and chaos in the country. The main building was renovated about 500 meters from the old one, which has almost the same design.
Kabul University consists of 14 faculties in fields of Agriculture, Economics, Pharmacy, Islamic Studies, Law, Language and Literature, Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Journalism, Veterinary medicine, Social Science, Psychology, Geoscience and Fine Arts. There is some debate on the name of the university. Officially, the university is known by the Pashto name Da Kbul Pohantn. Recently, it has been suggested to use three different official names in Pashto, Persian and English (University of Kabul); most of all, because Persian-speaking students feel discriminated by the governmental ban of the Persian word for university.
This led to a clash between students and the police in November 2008, as mostly Persian-speaking students demanded to lift the ban on Persian words. Previously, the Minister of Culture, Information, Tourism and Youth Affairs, Karim Khoram, had decided to ban the use of Persian expressions in government institutions and in state-controlled media, and a young journalist for a state newspaper was fined for using the Persian word for university in a report. A similar clash took place a few weeks earlier in the mostly Persian-speaking city of Mazar-e Sharif in northern Afghanistan. As a result, that university’s name was officially changed from Pashto (Pohantn-e Balkh) to Persian (Dneshgh-e Balkh).
