Universities should be responsible for choosing students for themselves – Mehr News Agency Iran and world’s news
According to reporter Mehr Youssef Nouri, the Minister of Education said in Panj Sima channel’s handwriting program, referring to the reopening of schools from this year: Schools in all countries were the first places to reopen after the spread of Corona virus. No training is as effective as face-to-face training, and that’s why schools in all countries returned to face-to-face training very quickly.
The Minister of Education added: It was very difficult to reopen schools; Many domestic and foreign media criticized us. In this way, we implemented several programs to show that face-to-face training is necessary, and face-to-face training has taken place in all countries; Fortunately, with self-sufficiency in vaccine production and nationwide vaccination, it was possible for schools to continue their activities in person.
Nouri stated that all members of the government delegation were concerned about the reopening of schools and were worried about the health of students and teachers. He said: We should not expect from the virtual space that the virtual space is a game space. It was in this space that attacks were made against us.
He stated that we launched a camp for governance in cyberspace; He said: We are in the process of designing and implementing a supplementary educational method in which we can benefit more from virtual trainings in addition to face-to-face trainings. In addition to the possibility of sending messages, we also had Shadbin internet search in the Shad network before, and we are trying to develop and expand this space and possibility next year.
Referring to the 21st May meeting of educators with the leadership, he said that after that meeting, we held a meeting with Iran’s education officials to remove extra texts from textbooks.
Pointing out that these changes will not reach the next academic year, he said: the textbook for the next academic year was already under print when we came to education, and for this reason, the changes we are considering in the educational textbooks will not reach the current academic year. But the changes considered for textbooks for the next academic year will be finalized in 10 days.
Nouri stated that we should not act in the Ministry of Education; He said: All our actions must be measured and prepared; Many people do not know the difference between a textbook and a curriculum; In the curriculum, we pay more attention to the nuances of education.
Nouri stated that I am obliged to train a force that will be an effective and useful element for our system in the future; He said: entrance exam should be a way to attract students for universities; Few countries have entrance exams, but we are in a situation where first graders must think about entrance exams, this education system must be changed.
Stating that universities should be responsible for choosing students for themselves, he said: Currently, students have the stress of entrance exams from the beginning of their studies.
Referring to the changes in the entrance exam in the coming years, he said: the effect of academic records will reach 60% in the next three years; Unfortunately, in the current exam, there are profit-seeking actions that must be dealt with.
