Education

All Afghan children of school age are allowed to attend primary and secondary school and study the national curriculum regardless of their documentation status providing that they have a YEKTA code. Please find the 2024 announcement on school enrolment here.

Additionally, UNHCR, through its national NGO partner Farda Development Activist Association (FDA), provides the opportunity for refugee students to apply for the Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee Initiative Fund (DAFI) scholarship to support their tertiary education. The scholarship covers tuition fees and living expenses for undergraduate studies. Please find the latest announcement on the DAFI scholarship programme here.
