The national entrance exam, a fateful test that engages millions of Iranians each year, is recognized as one of the most important criteria for entering the country's prestigious universities. This exam can provide a fair opportunity for talented students to achieve their educational and career aspirations. However, harsh realities of the existing inequalities in the administration of this exam have raised serious concerns among families and students.
Challenges of Inequality in the National Entrance Exam
The unfair administration of the entrance exam can lead to the killing of talent and the migration of skilled individuals. Many students from less developed regions face additional pressures due to limited access to educational resources, which can reduce their chances of success in this exam. Additionally, the lack of attention to the specific needs of students with special conditions exacerbates the existing problems.

Moreover, the existence of social and familial pressures to achieve high scores in the entrance exam negatively impacts the mental health of students. Many of them struggle with stress and anxiety resulting from these pressures, which can affect their performance in the exam.
Consequences of Elite Migration
One of the consequences of the existing inequalities in the entrance exam is the migration of elites to countries that offer better educational and job opportunities. This can lead to a decrease in talents and elites in the country and, in the long run, result in greater harm to society. This migration not only affects the personal lives of students but also has negative impacts on the economy and culture of the country.
On the other hand, families also face financial concerns in securing educational resources and entrance exam classes. This financial pressure can lead to dissatisfaction and family tensions, which can affect the morale and motivation of students.
Ultimately, the national entrance exam should be viewed as a tool for identifying talents and competencies, not as a reason for creating inequality and pressure on youth. Reforms in the educational system and student admissions can help improve the situation of the entrance exam and reduce existing inequalities, providing equal opportunities for all students.
