GARDEZ (Pajhwok): Some students of Paktia University complain the absence of a dormitory has forced them to live in private places, paying high rents and facing multiple problems.
The construction of two hostels for students of Paktia University was launched under the previous government, but they are yet to be completed.
Mohammad Basheer, a student, told Pajhwok Afghan News the absence of a dormitory inside the university forced them to live outside in private places for high rent.
He said many students could not afford to pay rents and other expenses. He urged officials to complete the rest of work on the dormitory building as soon as possible and allot rooms to needy students.
“Many students here do not have enough money. Some of them have even given up their education due to financial woes. Their problems will be resolved with the completion of the hostel building.
Similarly, another student, Mohammad Naseem, grumbled about paying inordinately high rents for rooms outside the university and encountering a host of problems.
He added:“Many students are facing economic problems - a big obstacle to our education. We urge the government to open the hostel as soon as possible.”
Some other students held similar views and urged the government to address the issue with a sense of urgency.
Paktia University Chancellor Mohammad Hakim Hamidi confirmed to Pajhwok the dormitory and some other buildings inside the varsity were incomplete.
He recalled a few days ago, a delegation from the relevant ministry visited the university to start work on these buildings.
“Some of work on the dormitory was done under the previous government. A committee from the ministry came to investigate the resent of the dormitory and other buildings inside the university. We hope the project will be completed this year.”
