Curriculum

^Introduction

^{Curriculum renewal and textbooks, which is one of the most important issues in improving the quality of teaching in higher education institutions. As the first step toward curriculum renovation the student’s suggestion was collected by questionaries’ and interviews and as a second step of the faculty administration again used readymade questionnaires for experts who are in charge of work and research in production and industrial institutions and in relevant areas and their suggestions were being collected to take the necessary actions in order to prepare the curriculum in accordance with the requirements of the society. The curriculum of the chemistry faculty which was designed by afghan and Indian professors and after its approval from council of administrative affairs of ministry of higher education of Afghanistan got implementation approval. In 2013, again the teaching curriculum of the faculty and textbooks were revised by faculty teachers in collaboration of German consultants and were adapted to credit system and is still being implemented, its first batch of students was graduated in 2017.}

^{Since, the chemistry department was promoted to the level of an independent faculty in 2016 the dean of the faculty and head of departments by the time conducted high level efforts to review and renew the content of each teaching textbooks at department level and renew the curriculum. The following steps were completed in accordance with the guidance of the respected president of the Kabul university.}

^{In the spring of 2017, the questionnaire was prepared to collect the suggestions and opinions about the existing curriculum and was distributed to our alumni.}

^{In the course of the same year, we had discussions and meetings with the officials of the relevant institutions, as the water analysis laboratories of ministry of water and power, custom laboratories of ministry of finance, complex laboratories of ministry of mines and petroleum, head of maintenance and care of macroryans, bagramy textile, the director of water and water resources of the ministry of rural development, head of drug test and control laboratories about the curriculum design and improvements.}

^{In December 2017 the copy of the current curriculum in addition with a readymade questioner was sent to our stock holders and the above mentioned institution in order to collect their constructive suggestion for more enrichment of the curriculum.}

^{The next step was to provide training targets with respect to the need to be completed in collaboration with respectable professors.}

^{The member of the faculty curriculum renovation committee on their meeting in January 2018 discussed curriculum of the region country universities like Turkey, Iran, India and Pakistan and accordingly some necessary changes were entered into a number of subjects that were previously taught and some new subject were entered into the new teaching curriculum.}

^{The teaching methodology is based on problem solving, exchange of opinions between the two involved sides, independent discussions and brainstorming.}
