Abstract :
- Traditionally, Afghanistan has remained a
hotbed of gender inequality in various aspects. Women
and girls encounter numerous hindrances in the
education sector. Despite concerted efforts to enhance
the educational system in the past several years, the
situation of Afghan girls and women education
continues deplorable. There is still much work to be
done in enhancing education, in particular female
literacy. This paper aims to explain the main barriers
that hinder girls and women of access to education. It
utilizes the design and system thinking methodology to
describe the main obstacles and suggest a business
model of the University of the Future (UotF) for a
Malaysian university in providing fair access to a
balanced education and decent work for girls and
women in Afghanistan. The augmentation of this paper
is a conceptual and validated business model in the
BMC and VPC format. The proposed UotF business
model for the Malaysian university will help Afghan
females to obtain entrepreneurship education,
experiences, and human values in contributing to the
wellbeing and improvement of the Afghan nation.
