In the past two decades, many steps have been taken to improve the education sector. International NGOs, sponsors, donors and partners along with the government of Afghanistan have invested heavily in the education system to improve literacy across the country, but the country still faces many challenges in this sector. Despite, access to education is the right of every child and youth, government is also responsible to create opportunity for quality education for its people by spending money and using resources. It is a fact that the government of Afghanistan has implemented many policies and achieved the objectives of quantitative and qualitative goals, but the outcomes are very insufficient. It should also be mentioned that the state of education system before two decades is not comparable with 2021 in any way, so many initiatives been taken in this sector as investment in the vital pillar of economic growth.

This article will highlight the main challenges in education system of Afghanistan in the last 20 years and its impact on economic growth will be determined. It will also explain the impact of these challenges on quality of education in the different sectors by descriptive research and empirical analysis to evaluate the available evidence.
