Assessment of Teacher Competencies in Selected Provinces of Afghanistan (2023)

UNESCO Kabul Office commissioned a study aimed at assessing the competencies of Grade 3 teachers. A total of 617 teachers from 223 randomly selected schools across five provinces in Afghanistan participated in the study.

Overall, although surveyed grade 3 teachers demonstrated a high level of self-perception regarding teaching competencies, they had low content knowledge.

There remained room for improvement in terms of pedagogical skills among participating teachers.
