It is your country, so I hope these commonalities will lead to the strengthening of cooperation between the two countries in the field of science, technology and education.
Nouri stated that he hopes that this trip will strengthen the relations between the two countries and said: Last month, we hosted your vice president and the elite students of Venezuela. The Islamic Republic of Iran has 16 million students, 49% of whom are female students. We have one million teachers, of which 54% are female teachers.
Referring to some other information about Iran’s education, he said: the actual educational coverage in the primary period is 98%. We have 300 one-person schools and 5,000 schools with less than 5 people. We also have 120,000 schools, 700 student research institutes, and 2,000 cultural and artistic centers.
He continued: The most important thing that has been done in the education system of the Islamic Republic of Iran is the drafting of the document on the fundamental transformation of education. We also have the educational network of students, Shad, which is an online learning network that is unique in the world. This network was designed and operated since the beginning of the corona virus, and even now, when schools are closed, this network is used as a backup network.
Referring to the technical and professional training that is provided, the Minister of Education said: We have various fields in the technical and professional field, and also various innovations are made in this field, which can create fields of cooperation between the two countries.
Referring to other characteristics of Iran’s education, he said: In the Islamic Republic of Iran, teacher training has been carried out exclusively for education and training for 100 years, and currently we have 100,000 student teachers who are dedicated to education and training in the fields of humanities, technical and professional sciences. They are studying. The focus of education in the Islamic Republic of Iran is on teacher training in undergraduate courses, but we also train teachers in master’s and doctorate courses.
The Minister of Education continued: The most important field of education in the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is important for the country of Venezuela, is the training of students in the field of top talents, and we won 20 world gold medals in these schools this year.
Nouri pointed out: In the field of inventions, which is held in the form of the Khwarazmi Youth Festival, our students present their innovations and inventions, which is a good field for joint cooperation between the two countries, and accordingly, last month, a group of students Venezuelans had traveled to Iran and visited schools of brilliant talents and activities in this field.
