Dangerous rail laying in Farhangian University by removing the secretary’s obligation

According to the education reporter of Fars news agency, Asadullah Asadi Garmaroudi, a member of the academic staff of Farhangian University, wrote in an open letter to the president: As a compassionate brother who, by the mercy of God, has spent his life in training the country’s teachers, regarding the transformation priorities that are You have sent the “expectation document” to the Minister of Education, I have noticed some points that are worthy of reflection and concern, and therefore I request you to review and revise it by asking the opinion of experienced experts.

For example, I would like to briefly remind you of what you mentioned in paragraph (1) related to the University of Farhangians and recruitment methods, that these materials are exactly the same policies that were tried to be applied to the university in the previous 8-year government (the famous slogan of the previous government). (3+1) knowledge from universities and skills from Farhangian University) and made the Supreme Leader himself to become a champion of teacher training and Farhangian University, and from that date until now, he has spoken about Farhangian University more than 34 times and made comprehensive recommendations. Have had.

Among the important points in this paragraph are:

1) Accepting undergraduate students by entrusting them to other universities and giving them scholarships from the third year of studentship

2) Acceptance of bachelor’s degree holders for the master’s course with the title of professional teacher training subject to the following conditions:

A) To be able to successfully complete their studies at Farhangian University without the commitment of being a secretary

b) If they pass the teacher qualification test of the evaluation organization of the Ministry of Education, then they can be employed in education.

c) It is also stated that until 1403, thirty (30) percent of the capacity of Farhangian University should include these students, which means that this meaning is used, then the acceptance of a committed bachelor’s secretary student will be at the ceiling of 70%, and definitely beyond this in the perspective of the designers of the text. and it is a prelude for the following years to completely remove the secretary’s obligation.

And most importantly, the authority of their general qualification is assigned to the assessment center of the ministry, so then these people will be accepted for education. It is enough to inquire about the consequences of this plan similar to what happened in holding the Article 28 courses in belief and education.

While Farhangian University is in charge of teacher training and one of the policies of establishing two campuses in each province is to put all educators under continuous training for 30 years of work and educational, skill and scientific qualifications of educators should be completed by this university. It is strange that it is included in the evaluation center of the Ministry of Education.

However, this approach of removing the conditional commitment (unilaterally, which has a long history of success in accepting students and inculcates the belief of becoming a teacher in the student, and if the university evaluation officials are convinced of the student’s incapacity during teaching, they can cancel the commitment) is a dangerous practice that The officials of the previous government insisted on it and if they reduced the number of students in Farhangian University to 3,000, it was in the implementation of this policy.

What is expected from the provincial government is to make a plan in this regard so that education does not fall into the trap of this thinking again. (The bitter experience that we have witnessed in two relatively long periods after the revolution occurred in the 1970s and 1980s with the removal of the obligation to be a teacher, and with the transfer of admission to universities, teacher training centers were seriously dissolved.

The truth is that the current universities cannot assume the responsibility of teacher training due to the purely academic approach and the prevailing political atmosphere and the lack of necessary educational platforms. This work requires special and standard platforms in a goal-oriented, all-round and multi-faceted course, and for this reason, this task was consolidated in two Farhangian Universities and Shahid Rajaei Education.

Also, among the orders of the president in expressing the priority of recruitment is the use of elites introduced by the elites foundation. The fact is that the elite in education has a different definition than what is defined in the elite foundation. In education, we should invest in a force that we can be sure is permanent in education and in addition to being a scholar, he loves the job of a teacher and excels in educational fields and multi-faceted skills. Indeed, the stature of “knowledge” in primary and secondary education is not high, and it is these high levels of education and skill that make the role of the teacher successful.

For this reason, one of the fundamental differences between Farhangian University and other universities is in “science education” and not just pure science, and the inseparability of content and text with pedagogy and technology in the education of Farhangian University is considered an inseparable principle. If the Supreme Leader of the Revolution has explained the Jihad, the center of gravity of this Jihad is public education, which is the responsibility of education, and the irreplaceable role of the teacher in performing this Jihad is not hidden from anyone, and he can fulfill this role correctly when he himself According to the interpretation of Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali (peace be upon him) has acquired the properties of the mission of a teacher.

If Farhangian University has been entrusted with this task based on the transformation document, it is because by providing a platform for a 3-4 year round-the-clock course, they can make them believers in the values ​​of Islam and the revolution, and instilled with moral virtues and capable in the fields of education and skills of this prophetic mission. slow For this purpose, one of the measures taken by the Islamic Council was the revival of the secretary’s commitment so that the more talented students are attracted and, in addition, the trained human resources do not leave the education system easily and after studying in the required areas for a minimum period of time. Serve twice as much as education.

The fact that it is said that economic savings will be made by removing the secretary’s obligation is not acceptable for various reasons, because most of the students of Farhangian University are from the middle to lower strata of the society and receive a minimum salary (with a deduction of 25-45% from the university) to cover the expenses of the academic course. They are very necessary, and in addition, from the beginning of this course, it has a positive effect on the status of a teacher’s job, and if this obligation is removed, it will have a very negative effect on attracting talented students and not accepting service in the desired areas of education. (The holding of a one-year conditional period for the implementation of Article 28 in the multilateral evaluations of the officials confirms this discussion).

Undoubtedly, we all believe that the selection and recruitment of teachers is considered one of the most important and difficult choices for any government and military because they are responsible for education and creating belief in the country’s public culture policies and accompanying the nation with the system. Most of all, any effort in this matter is an investment, not an expense.

Among the orders of the Supreme Leader to the officials of the system, investment in the teacher training sector and diligence in solving problems and meeting their needs, according to the standard of a day and night university at the level of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in the three areas of human resources, space and equipment.
