The Faculty of Economics organized a study tour to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce on May 8, 2024. The purpose of the study tour was to meet with the Ministry's leadership, better understand the Ministry's policies, plans, and exchange ideas and recommendations on advancing the Ministry's strategic objectives towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8: sustainable economic growth and SDG 1: poverty reduction in Afghanistan.

Students learned about Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), import and export strategies, strategy-making steps, national and international investments, and human resources management during this tour. They met with the heads of various ministry departments and had a question and answer session regarding industry and commerce in Afghanistan with the relevant departments.  

"We thank the Ministry of Industry and Commerce for giving such an opportunity for our students to come and meet with the heads of different departments at this ministry and give them a practical and experiential tour to improve their insight into industry and commerce," said Dr. Sayed Abdul Moiz, Dean of Economics Faculty at Al-Taqwa Institute of Higher Education. 

Economics Faculty students have attended several study tours to the related national and international organizations and have learned essential topics related to their field of study. All in all, the study tour was efficient and useful for students in maintaining a good practical experience from the site and going forward to improving their abilities.

Students described the field visit quite useful and thanked the economics faculty leadership for arranging such study-tours for its students. Meanwhile, the leadership of Economics Faculty promised to enhance practical learning approaches for its students, and therefore, has signed bilateral agreements with certain local and foreign high profile institutions.

At the end Mr. Wojohullah “Amin”, head of BBA department at Al-Taqwa Institute of Higher Education thanked the leadership and representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce for their cooperation in facilitation of the visit.
