The president of Sharif University of Technology recently rejected the incorrect assumption that students of this university are trained for activities abroad in a controversial statement. According to him, Sharif University not only does not focus on training elites to leave the country, but its main goal is to create the necessary grounds for internal activities.
Emphasis on Creating Domestic Jobs
The president of Sharif University, referring to the formation of about 800 to 900 companies around this university, added: "Creating 12,000 jobs and selling knowledge-based products demonstrates our efforts to strengthen the domestic economy." He emphasized that in recent years, Sharif University has become a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, and this trend must continue.
These statements come at a time when many elites and students from this university are seeking job opportunities abroad. The president of Sharif University stated that this trend has occurred due to the economic and social conditions of the country, emphasizing the importance of creating sustainable jobs and supporting new ideas.
Criticism of Past Mistakes
He also referred to the criticisms directed at the country's educational system and said: "Instead of focusing on the emigration of elites, we should concentrate on empowering and training individuals who can work within the country and contribute to the development of the national economy." These statements will undoubtedly have wide-ranging repercussions in society and may change the opinions of elites and students.
Finally, the president of Sharif University of Technology, emphasizing the importance of retaining elites within the country, said: "We must strive to encourage the country's elites to stay and work domestically, and this issue requires the cooperation of all institutions and individuals." These remarks not only raise questions about the future of the country's elites but could also spark a heated debate in academic and social circles.
