History

The Department of Mathematics has been one of the most pivotal departments, which has been operating since the inception of the Darulmalimeen or Teacher Training Academy. In the year 1973, the Academy of teacher’s training was promoted to the Higher Teachers' Teacher Training Institute.

In the year 1986 A.H, when Higher Teachers' Teacher Training Institute was promoted to Institute of Pedagogy, the department worked in two subjects: mathematics and physics in conjunction with two other departments of the institution. In 2003 A.H, when the Ministry of Higher Education was undergoing a series of reforms, this institute joined the University of Herat under the name of Faculty of Education. The Department of Mathematics and Physics at the Faculty of Education worked together until 2014.

In 2014, the Department of Mathematics and Physics were separated into two independent departments of mathematics and physics as a result of the proposal of professors of the department and the approval of the Academic Council for Educational and Vocational Education, the Scholarly Council of the University, and the approval of the Ministry of Higher Education. Both departments continue their separate activities independently.
