Establishment of a Public Education Fund
The President announced the proposal to establish a public education fund to enhance the quality of schools and added: If every Iranian allocates a portion of their income for the education of children, we can provide the best educational facilities for all the children of this land. He believes that the greatest and most lasting asset of the country is its children, and special attention must be given to their education and upbringing.
Pezeshkian criticized educational inequalities, stating: Conditions should not be created where only the children of the wealthy have the opportunity to progress. Education is the right of all people and has no connection to money or ethnicity.
He also appreciated the participation of the public and philanthropists in school construction and emphasized the importance of cooperation among people to build schools. He said: "If everyone brings a brick, a school will be built." This belief and trust among the people can lead to progress in the country's educational system.
Pezeshkian pointed out the necessity of improving the quality of education, adding: It is not the duty of managers to consider themselves all-knowing, but rather to create an environment for the talents and creativity of others to flourish. He emphasized that every individual has the ability to do something and should be given the opportunity to serve the people.
In conclusion, the President addressed officials and families, stating: The future dignity or humiliation of Iran depends on these children, and we must work hand in hand to raise a sincere, ethical, and creative generation. He also emphasized the importance of the role of education in this regard, stating: "Education has a fundamental role in training capable individuals to achieve this goal."
