The data has been collected by questionnaire from randomly sampled students of Kabul University.

This work was carried out based on the primary data collected through the survey instrument. The survey instrument used for this work is a standardized well-structured questionnaire.

“I have understood that most of the young generation would like to have Prevention of Violent Extremism (PVE) education in their school, which removes the perception that most of the media have that university students have strong potential capacity to be against PVE education.
