Reviewing the Expectations of Students from Herat's Public and Private Higher Education Institutes

Abstract

The rise in the number of public and private universities in Herat, on one hand, and the city's lack of employment on the other, have made it extremely challenging and demanding for public and private universities to remain functional and competitive. These sectors must make smart and thought-out decisions to maintain their existence. In fact, the most important component of this major issue is understanding the expectations of the next generation in this city to recruit more students and ensure their survival. The primary purpose of this research is to discover an appropriate answer to the topic of what students in this city would anticipate from public and private universities. Therefore, a questionnaire has been randomly presented to 11th and 12th grade students of public and private high schools in Herat city. Then, the received research data has been reviewed and analyzed using SPSS method. It is important to note that the current study may be both functional and improvable in terms of purpose and methodology, respectively. The study results show that, both public and private universities need to have a solid academic foundation and extensive welfare services to meet future generations expectations.
