Afghan Voice Agency (AVA)_Monitoring, Addressing the participants of the test, Acting Finance Minister Mohammad Nasser Akhund said: “The Ministry of Finance wants the Ministry of Higher Education to introduce to us the people who have become top (scorers) in universities. So this is an honor for you. It is the blessing and mercy of Allah Almighty for you that he has given you knowledge.”
The Ministry of Higher Education welcomed the move of the Ministry of Finance and asked the graduates to use their experience and expertise in their jobs.
“Honorable Ministry of Finance asks the Ministry of Higher Education to send its distinguished students from its prestigious universities. It is a matter of pride that our distinguished students do not have to take their application letters and go to one place or another. The Islamic Emirate wants talented students to come and serve,” Lotfollah Khairkhah, deputy minister for academic affairs of the ministry of higher education said.
Finance ministry officials said that their aim is to get qualified people for vacant posts and prevent a brain drain.
“In the leadership meeting, it was decided that students who have graduated with excellent marks in 1401 and 1400, we should invite all of them in an official manner and recruit them in vacant positions,” Ahmad Shah Shaker, head of human resources department of the Ministry of Finance said:
This is the first time that top graduates are competitively recruited for posts in the Ministry of Finance. According to experts, in the past two years, only members of the Islamic Emirate were appointed to high and low level government positions.
