Founding & History
The Afghanistan Thinkers Academy was established in 2013 through the initiative of Dr. Safa Farzai and operated under the framework of the Ministry of Education of Afghanistan. The institution began its educational activities by offering short-term, professional, and vocational programs both in-person and online.
Since its establishment, the institution has remained committed to enhancing the scientific, intellectual, and professional capacities of Afghan youth and has continuously worked to provide access to quality education for different segments of society.
University Motto
"Education Without Borders; Empowerment for the Future"
Developments After 2021
Following the developments of 2021 and the educational restrictions imposed particularly on women and girls, the Afghanistan Thinkers Academy restructured all of its educational programs into a fully online format in order to continue its educational mission.
During this phase, targeted short-term and mid-term programs were offered primarily for women in:
- Psychology
- English Literature
These programs enabled hundreds of women deprived of education to continue their learning journey.
Establishment of the University (2026)
In response to the growing needs of society and with the aim of overcoming barriers to higher education, the institution officially launched its higher education activities in 2026:
"Motafakeran Afghanistan International Online University"
The university was established in cooperation with national and international institutions, providing fully online and free higher education primarily for women at both Bachelor's and Master's levels.
