[Sher Malang]

From M Karim Faiez Kabul, Mar 24 (PTI) Afghanistan proposes to double the number of its students in Indian and Turkish universities as part of moves to boost educational standards in the war torn country, President Hamid Karzai said here today. He said the numbers of Afghan students to be send to Indian and Turkish universities would be raised from 500 to 1,000 this year and for this the government was increasing the foreign study allocation to USD 10 million from the present USD 5 million. Karzai, who was speaking at the first school day of the famous Amani high school, recently renovated with Indian assistance, said his government also proposed to raise expense money of the students studying in India and Turkey, as he has received complaints from them, that they were not getting their money on time. "This year we will send 1,000 high school graduate students for higher education to India and Turkey from our government badge," Karzai said, addressing the gathering of students, teacher and government officials. The school is also the alma mater of the President Karzai. "We are thankful of India and Turkey for providing our students opportunities to study in their countries," said Karzai while he encouraged students that beside school subjects they must learn foreign languages that would help them in the future for their higher education.

Most of them are kids, i dont think they are trained as spies. Anyway proper scanning and identification is done with any foreign student, not only afghans

kids can not be identified as spies(unless they have been spying since childhood )
everyone who enters our country legally is properly scanned...but spies do their work after they enter the country

I am sure they are scanned and tracked inside India; today you can find Afghans in every part of India north, south, east, west everywhere!

500 scholarships from Afghan gov and 675 from Indian gov; so yearly 1175 students

It is better than some countries that destroyed their peaceful country and left it to be ravaged by their political stooges... At least Afghan students can study and become successful career persons in their lives rather than being forced to become killers.

Good news, Indian Universities should open up their branches in Afghanistan as most of the student can't afford education overseas, provided that Afghan govt provides security to them.
