The study looks at the connection between Nangarhar University's
public administration alumni and its graduates' financial results. This
research is important to explore for several reasons, including
economic planning, social impact, policy development, and
educational improvement. The research methodology employed was
a quantitative technique, Jamovi Version 2.5 was used for analysis.
Online convenience sample method was applied for data collection,
and Cronbach Alpha was 0.793. After 64 out of 130 recent graduates
participated in the study, the researchers discovered many significant
findings: Compared to graduates of other programs, public
administration graduates were more likely to hold steady, wellpaying
positions. The information revealed statistically significant
disparities between public administration alumni and other
graduates in terms of job stability, work satisfaction, and economic
output. Graduates in public administration thought their degrees
made a big difference in the economic development of their
communities. In particular, they believed that their abilities
promoted local governance, engaged in community development,
improved local services, and opened up job prospects. However, the
survey also found important obstacles preventing graduates in
public administration from being financially self-sufficient. The two
biggest challenges were a dearth of employment possibilities and low
pay. Overall, the results point to a good correlation between
Nangarhar University's public administration program and its
alumni's economic success and communal impact. However, there
are still obstacles to overcome before graduates can completely utilize
their knowledge and abilities to propel economic growth. The
researchers advise more research on approaches to remove these
obstacles and increase the benefits of teaching public management.
