In a press conference, the president of Shiraz University examined the fundamental challenges of this university and mentioned infrastructure degradation, declining motivation among students, and the emigration of elites as three major threats. He emphasized that these issues not only affect the quality of education but also endanger the future of the university and even society.
Infrastructure Degradation and Its Effects
The president of Shiraz University expressed concern about the current state of the university's infrastructure, stating: "The degradation 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 particularly increased in recent years, and this has led to a decline in the scientific and research quality of universities." He stressed 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 funding.
In conclusion, the president of Shiraz University called on all relevant institutions to collaborate more in improving the status of universities, thereby providing a brighter future for this university and society.
