Attracting international students is one of the main priorities of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. However, the presence of brokers and unauthorized agents has created problems in this process. The Head of the Student Affairs Organization explained that these brokers, due to insufficient oversight and legal issues, have been able to exploit students and their families.

Proposed Solutions for Organizing the Attraction Process
According to the Head of the Organization, one of the main solutions for organizing this process is to resolve the issue of universities' foreign currency accounts and the ability to receive tuition fees in foreign currency. These changes could help universities communicate directly with students and manage the attraction process through legal and official channels.
The Ministry of Science has also emphasized the need to create legal and transparent frameworks for universities' activities in attracting international students and is seeking solutions to establish an effective and efficient system in this regard. The Head of the Student Affairs Organization added that these programs will not only benefit universities but also students and their families, ultimately leading to an improvement in the quality of education in the country.
Eliminating brokers and unauthorized agents can help build greater trust between students and universities and present a better image of Iran's educational system internationally. These actions are especially important in the current conditions where competition for attracting international students has increased.
