Student evaluation systems are widely applied in higher education, as universities utilize them to collect feedback from students to understand their educational experience and to identify areas that schools could improve on (Blair & Valdez Noel, 2014).

The Impact of Podcasts on Educational Inequality in Afghanistan

Gender inequality in Afghanistan's education system has long been a cause for concern in international education developments. As the result of the war, conflict, extreme education policies, and the extent of women's educational suffering have been widely concerned by the international community.
