Kabul University (KU; Dari: پوهنتون کابل, romanized: Dāneshgāh-e-Kābul; Pashto: د کابل پوهنتون, romanized: Da Kābul Pohantūn)[2][3][4] is one of the major and oldest institutions of higher education in Afghanistan. It is in the 3rd District of the capital Kabul, near the Ministry of Higher Education. It was founded in 1931 by King Mohammed Nadir Shah, whose prime minister at the time was his younger brother, Sardar Mohammad Hashim Khan.
Approximately 22,000 students attend Kabul University. In August 2021, before the Taliban takeover, nearly half were female.[5] The university reopened in February 2022, with classes separated by sex but relatively few changes to the curriculum.[6]
