Ahmad Mahmoudzadeh, the head of the Organization of Non-Governmental Schools and Centers, mentioned the results of the exam and the share of public and non-public schools during the Ghancheh celebration, stating: "77 percent of the top ranks in the exam come from public schools." This statistic indicates that the educational system of the country is functioning well and educational justice is relatively upheld.
Emphasis on Talented Students
Mahmoudzadeh further discussed the importance of gifted schools (Samapad schools) and said: "Samapad schools are also public, and one should not expect that despite having top talents, these students would not achieve good results." He emphasized that these gifted students succeed in exams and study in schools suited to their talents.

Educational Justice and Social Expectations
The head of the Organization of Non-Governmental Schools and Centers clarified: "We expect talented students to rank at the top. Educational justice does not mean that talented students cannot succeed due to unequal conditions." He also referred to the distribution of ranks among other students in various schools and regions, stating that "we should expect talented students to be at the top of the table."
In response to criticisms from some in society regarding the exam results and the successes attributed to specific families, Mahmoudzadeh said: "If the child of a doctor is among the top ranks, it does not mean that educational justice is in question. Rather, it reflects inherent talent and family effort." He emphasized that "there should not be doubt created in the public space of society," stating: "Talented students should be given the necessary opportunities to achieve greater successes."
Future Outlook of the Educational System
In conclusion, Mahmoudzadeh referred to the future of the educational system and the need to strengthen and support talented individuals, stating: "We must pay attention to top talents and support them so that they can become successful social figures in the future."
