In a press conference, the president of Shiraz University addressed the fundamental challenges of this university and identified infrastructure decay, declining motivation among students, and the emigration of elites as three major threats. He emphasized that these problems not only affect the quality of education but also jeopardize the future of the university and even society.
Infrastructure Decay and Its Effects
The president of Shiraz University expressed concern about the current state of the university's infrastructure, stating: "The decay of equipment and buildings directly impacts the quality of education and research. This issue causes students and elites to distance themselves from this university and seek better opportunities abroad." He added that this situation has placed the university in a difficult position and requires careful planning and effective actions.
Emigration of Elites and Declining Motivation
The president of Shiraz University also referred to the emigration of elites, saying: "The emigration of elites has increased, especially in recent years, and this has led to a decline in the scientific and research quality of universities." He emphasized the necessity of creating suitable conditions for elites to stay and preventing their emigration, stating that this university is seeking to secure sustainable financial resources and reduce dependence on government budgets.
In conclusion, the president of Shiraz University called on all relevant institutions to cooperate more in improving the status of universities, thus providing a brighter future for this university and society.
