00:00:00Our day, to science and education, is definitely one of
00:00:03the greatest honors of the country's cultural heritage, which
00:00:07it shows in its seal and at the beginning of the academic year. Well, as you know,
00:00:10this year,
00:00:14this year,
00:00:16we start the academic year with two issues
00:00:19in 124,000 schools.
00:00:22First, we tried to hold a commemoration
00:00:26of the Master of Martyrs of the Revolution
00:00:29and Mr. Shahid of Iran in all these schools.
00:00:32Second, a commemoration of the martyred students of Minab,
00:00:36which was really a truly
00:00:39strange
00:00:40historical
00:00:43crime that the aggressor enemy
00:00:47committed, and we must
00:00:50keep this alive in the historical memory
00:00:54of our people forever, and we must
00:00:57turn this into an event in our memory.
00:01:02Good things have happened in the government. The national headquarters of Minab has been formed.
00:01:05The Ministry of Heritage, the Ministry of Guidance, the Ministry of Guidance
00:01:09are following up with the help of education and other
00:01:12agencies, whose reports they will definitely
00:01:15give. But in addition to this,
00:01:19we have designed a great work,
00:01:22and that is the relationship of schools
00:01:25with the resurrection of the people and their presence in the field.
00:01:29This work is a very great work,
00:01:33and while we convey this resurrection and this epic
00:01:37presence and power of the people to our students,
00:01:40we also establish this connection.
00:01:43We will definitely promote
00:01:46our national and religious identity
00:01:49symbols, especially the flag
00:01:52of the Islamic Republic of Iran, love for the homeland, love for
00:01:56the country, in the spirit and soul of children,
00:02:00and you will see this, God willing,
00:02:03that there will be a different atmosphere.
00:02:07We have designed excellent exhibitions
00:02:10in this regard to be able to reflect these. We are using
00:02:14the capacity of textbooks, and you students
00:02:18will see beautiful images of
00:02:21the glory, power, and pride of the Iranian nation,
00:02:24and of this great victory of the Iranian nation.
00:02:28We will make
00:02:47a field and, God willing, we will bring the hopeless to the scene in the new and normal conditions of the future, and we will be able to create great identity-forming
00:02:50events. Our entire effort is to
00:02:53develop justice and promote
00:02:55justice, which in the discussion of promoting justice, I forgot
00:02:59to mention two points. One of our achievements
00:03:02was the Iranian Television School, which I really thank
00:03:06the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, especially the Education Channel, Dr.
00:03:10Jabalali, Mr. Parsa, who really came along with us
00:03:13and established the Iranian Television School throughout Iran
00:03:17and brought about true justice.
00:03:20That is, you provided
00:03:23the best teachers and the best lessons
00:03:27to the most remote parts of the country. In addition,
00:03:30scientific jihad campaigns such as
00:03:34Alborz School
00:03:36covered 1300 boarding
00:03:40schools online. The best
00:03:43lessons for the eleventh and twelfth grades
00:03:47were provided to our boarding schools across the country.
00:03:51We have really done great things in this area.
00:03:53Look, we have only
00:03:56printed 160 million books.
00:04:00We have done and explained it, almost 90-95% has been explained
00:04:04and reached the people. These numbers are very large.
00:04:07I'm just saying, just think about the numbers,
00:04:11and you will really understand the greatness of education.
00:04:14Let me just say these two sentences about these great events.
00:04:17Look, we have a broad plan
00:04:20in the field of justice, in the field of quality
00:04:23and improving quality,
00:04:27and in strengthening national
00:04:30and religious identity, which is one of the most important
00:04:33programs of the Ministry of Education in this period. Fortunately, good successes have been achieved.
00:04:36Of course, we are still far from our expectations.
00:04:39I am really never satisfied with what has been done,
00:04:43and we try, God willing, to achieve
00:04:47good things in these difficult conditions
00:04:50with a jihadi spirit, with increased effort,
00:04:54and with the determination of our colleagues. Dr., because he just mentioned
00:04:58that good things have been planned for Mehr
00:05:02month and also for the entire academic year. A point, how much of
00:05:05our book content have we
00:05:08come up with so that our children
00:05:11learn and don't forget it? Because I am a mother myself,
00:05:15and one of my concerns is to see
00:05:18my child read, because reading
00:05:22makes it stick in their mind. How much have you tried?
00:05:25Look, one of the good things that I would like to talk about in
00:05:29my programs, because there is really no time, is if you give me an opportunity
00:05:32on this very channel, I will come and talk about
00:05:36the profound transformational programs of education.
00:05:40that is always available to you. I am at your service. at the forefront of communication with the people
00:05:55and the government, and for this reason,
00:05:58we have always expressed our gratitude, especially for the education
00:06:02that our colleagues in IRIB have covered well, and the channels have also
00:06:05helped a lot. Look, these reports that I
00:06:09have given are all about daily issues.
00:06:14But what really promotes our education
00:06:17are profound,
00:06:20sustainable, and effective
00:06:23transformations. We have started 8 profound transformational programs,
00:06:27several of which have already started. One of these
00:06:30transformations is the transformation in the curriculum.
00:06:34Content is content. Now, when we say curriculum,
00:06:36it is a package, you know, one part of it
00:06:40is content, yes, one part of it is books and content.
00:06:44You are the teacher, teacher training,
00:06:47teaching time, the volume of textbooks,
00:06:50assessment models, and assessment patterns.
00:06:54The integration of programs, activities, and skills.
00:06:57We have prepared a framework for curriculum transformation,
00:07:01and, God willing, we are changing all textbooks
00:07:05over a 7-year process with this approach that you have,
00:07:08because one of the main challenges of education is
00:07:11what we should do to turn this data
00:07:15and knowledge into behavior. This is a problem with the curriculum.
00:07:19We must transform the education system from being memory-based,
00:07:23education-driven, grade-centric,
00:07:25do you understand? We must turn it
00:07:29into a system that is educational, cultural,
00:07:32skill-based, student-centric,
00:07:35which should not be solely textbook-centric or teacher-centric,
00:07:39but rather skill-centric. Yes, skill-centric. We are changing these. So, our children will learn more skills. Yes,
00:07:43one of the good things we are doing is skill training
00:07:46with a focus on job creation. We are doing this,
00:07:50and one of our most successful endeavors has been the development of vocational schools
00:07:54and increasing the coverage rate of vocational schools.
00:07:57We are now approaching the end of the seventh plan.
00:08:01We also have a plan called "Every Student,
00:08:05One Skill," which we are pursuing for middle school students,
00:08:09so that in addition to what they learn,
00:08:13every student who graduates has a standard skill.
00:08:17These are educational programs, transformations.
00:08:20One transformation is in the first grade of elementary school. We have changed
00:08:24its books and programs. We have started the second grade of elementary school.
00:08:27We are now experimentally implementing a new curriculum
00:08:31ecosystem in 200 schools. We are implementing it experimentally.
00:08:35The books have also been prepared and produced. In these
00:08:38200 schools, we have also formed
00:08:41a network and are providing education. It's a very heavy
00:08:44task, meaning it's truly one of the most difficult
00:08:47tasks in education to transform the curriculum.
00:08:50This was always the dream of our martyred leader
00:08:54that we should have beneficial
00:08:57and attractive books with a skill-based approach.
00:09:01This is also a transformation in the structure of the education
00:09:04system. This structure of the education system naturally
00:09:08needs reform, especially the second secondary school period, which we need to make
00:09:11a bit more agile. Let's reduce it to two fields:
00:09:15theoretical and vocational. When, Mr. Minister,
00:09:18did we do this? When will we see the results of the work?
00:09:22Because these are interconnected. Look, these are not
00:09:25easy tasks. These are not tasks that you can just say, "Look,
00:09:29because you just emphasized, Mr. Doctor, you said with the weariness
00:09:33of studying, a part of our students,
00:09:36because they are still in
00:09:39the specific space of traditional education, and now the virtual world
00:09:42and new teaching methods are being implemented, they are moving
00:09:46in this direction, and now education is accelerating its efforts
00:09:50in this field. What education has done in this area
00:09:53is truly unique, especially if you look at teacher
00:09:57empowerment, artificial intelligence training, the development of vocational schools,
00:10:00and skill training, we have really broken records.
00:10:04These are two transformations that I mentioned, one is a transformation in the structure
00:10:08of the education system, where we need to improve the efficiency
00:10:12of the second secondary school period in terms of resources and the children's lives,
00:10:15because these are connected to the curriculum, these are
00:10:19on the agenda. Another transformation is in the organizational structure of education,
00:10:23which is a very hidden
00:10:26and, in fact, has very serious problems.
00:10:29It has almost been approved by the government, and, God willing, we are moving towards its implementation.
00:10:33Agile management, agile organizational structure.
00:10:36Another transformation is in human resources,
00:10:40which we must, after all, move towards strengthening the Farhangian University
00:10:43and training truly skilled,
00:10:46chosen, prominent teachers
00:10:49with all the characteristics that we need, because these teachers are entrusted
00:10:53with the children of the people.
00:10:55And, fortunately, very good things have happened in this area
00:10:59of Farhangian University and teacher empowerment, which I don't have
00:11:03time to mention.
00:11:06in the field of upbringing and culture,
00:11:08which, after all, you know, the methods have changed,
00:11:12tastes have changed, tools have changed,
00:11:16everything has changed. In the field of upbringing and culture, you can no longer
00:11:19have educational activities in schools with
00:11:23the old approaches.
00:11:26These good things have happened, the designs have been made, and the work has started.
00:11:29In reality, another part is a transformation in classroom technologies.
00:11:33I reported to you that we have moved
00:11:37towards new smartification, not the old smartification.
00:11:40That is, we have designed standard televisions
00:11:44and have imported 5,000 of them so far.
00:11:47We have set a goal of 50,000 classrooms
00:11:51to have these televisions with artificial intelligence,
00:11:55internet, and all kinds of software needed by teachers,
00:11:58and they are completely connected to an interactive network,
00:12:02which, by the way, Dr. Pezeshkian himself came and personally
00:12:05approved it. We have done hours of international
00:12:09studies, and we have started this part and are moving
00:12:13forward with the work. One part that is very
00:12:16important is the transformation in the governance of the education system,
00:12:20which we have not yet entered this field. It's a very heavy
00:12:24task. In this way,
00:12:28schools as educational centers and the main centers
00:12:31of education currently
00:12:35have no authority, and we are, in fact,
00:12:39dealing with a completely centralized
00:12:42and rigid organization,
00:12:45and the decisions we are making have no relevance
00:12:49to the frontline of education throughout our country.
00:12:53You see,
00:12:55a book that we write in Tehran goes to, for example,
00:12:58the border of Saravan and the border of Kurdistan,
00:13:02the borders, the northern and southern
00:13:05waters of our country, and is taught. We have given no authority
00:13:09to the teacher to plan according to the existing circumstances
00:13:12and available resources. Educational and cultural
00:13:15programs, educational camps,
00:13:18extracurricular activities, this system must be disrupted.
00:13:22For example, human resources is one of the problems in education.
00:13:26This centralized approach to human resources must be disrupted. One of the
00:13:29issues is funding schools. Look,
00:13:33we are currently collecting a centralized per capita fee in education,
00:13:37which we distribute to the provinces, from the provinces to the regions, and from the regions
00:13:40it reaches the schools. Well,
00:13:43the school principal has no authority.
00:13:47If we want to have dynamic, active,
00:13:50and creative schools, and after all,
00:13:53to educate different
00:13:55and distinct people in relation to the world's
00:13:59current needs and conditions, we need to change the methods.
00:14:02We are working in these areas,
00:14:05and we have extensive programs. And coincidentally, if they ask me,
00:14:09Mr. Kazemi, what are your most important
00:14:13achievements during this period of ministry?
00:14:17I say, initiating fundamental changes
00:14:21in the education system and profound transformations.
00:14:24And, of course, in addition to these systemic issues,
00:14:28God has really blessed us. What
00:14:32you said is truly
00:14:35correct. It is God's grace, God's favor, that in this period,
00:14:38the entire education system and we ourselves
00:14:42are truly grateful to God for this.
00:14:45I thank God morning, noon, and night that in a difficult period,
00:14:48education has been prioritized, and it's truly amazing to see
00:14:52the Supreme Leader. When he says
00:14:56that education is a supra-strategic
00:14:58institution,
00:15:01this brings a lot to the city, meaning
00:15:04everyone must define their strategies under this.
00:15:08The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting must do this. The Ministry of Oil must do
00:15:11this. The municipality must do this. Everyone must do this.
00:15:15And one of the good things we are doing is in the field
00:15:18of social harms, which, in my opinion, each of these needs
00:15:22a detailed program for me to be at your service
00:15:25and, after all, to share
00:15:29this discourse and these good programs that have been implemented
00:15:33in education. But one
00:15:35of the very good things that we have on our agenda.
00:15:39These are all heavy transformations. You might be surprised
00:15:43that we have put so many programs on our agenda.
00:15:46We have opened so many heavy and diverse fronts
00:15:50for ourselves, but we have no choice. Do you understand, Dr.
00:15:54Kazemi? Because you were also a teacher,
00:15:57you should monitor the output of everything you have planned
00:16:01in real-time and regularly to see its impact.
00:16:04How much is it? If it needs
00:16:08pathology or a change of course, do it. Look,
00:16:11we changed the first grade of elementary school last year and implemented
00:16:15it in 8 schools in Tehran and other cities. This year, we have taken
00:16:18it to 200 schools. We have not generalized it
00:16:21yet. Each province has approximately, for example,
00:16:2567 schools.
00:16:27We are working very cautiously,
00:16:31analyzing the problems, getting the results, getting the feedback,
00:16:35and moving forward. One
00:16:37of the good things I am currently pursuing is reducing the diversity
00:16:41of schools. You see, my slogan is this:
00:16:43I say, "Everyone says, 'Strengthen public
00:16:46schools!'" Well, how can you
00:16:50just strengthen public schools? We have created
00:16:54so many diverse schools. Then good teachers
00:16:57go to schools, good students go to schools, they are cherry-picked.
00:17:01Four weak schools are left, and the money goes to these schools.
00:17:04Well, how can I strengthen these public schools?
00:17:08It's impossible to strengthen them. It's not doable.
00:17:12Last year, we completely removed schools with administrative boards
00:17:15and exemplary schools from the education
00:17:18cycle. We should not have more than two types of schools:
00:17:22a regular public school and a school for
00:17:25special needs, which this school for
00:17:28special needs has two sections: one for exceptional
00:17:32students and one for gifted students,
00:17:36our SAMPAD schools. We must pay close attention to these two sections.
00:17:39The schools that have been formed now, we are gradually
00:17:43reducing them. I mean, I have already reduced
00:17:47three or four schools. God willing, we will completely
00:17:50reduce the rest of the schools until we reach these two types of schools. So, in the direction of justice
00:17:54and quality, yes, both justice and quality,
00:17:57meaning if I want to see public schools
00:18:01strengthened, I must give them good teachers.
00:18:04These good teachers should not be given to four schools. And now, you know, registration
00:18:08in these schools unfortunately
00:18:11has problems, it's rent-seeking,
00:18:14and, excuse me, it's based on connections. These are the challenges of education.
00:18:18Now, parents say, "God bless your father, Mr. Minister, you are speaking
00:18:21the words of mothers and fathers." You know,
00:18:24I am someone who has suffered in education, and I know
00:18:28the problem. You know, even with tuition fees,
00:18:31I announced that no principal
00:18:35has the right to collect money from parents
00:18:38during registration. Really, because legally
00:18:42and religiously, I have no right to hold a child's
00:18:45school registration hostage for money.
00:18:48This is also illegal. But we need
00:18:52the help of parents. We tell the principals, "Don't collect
00:18:56money during registration. After registration,
00:18:59collect for the school's problems. People will roll up their sleeves
00:19:03for their children. Believe me, they will help three times
00:19:07or even four times as much. I realized this myself.
00:19:11We said to make school uniforms last for three years.
00:19:15Why buy a new uniform every year?
00:19:17I completely separated school services from education. I said, "Give it to anyone. Our job
00:19:21is education." Why am I responsible
00:19:24for services?
00:19:26These good things and good transformations have fortunately happened in education,
00:19:30and of course, the challenges and problems
00:19:33of education are much broader than these. I hope, God willing,
00:19:36we can achieve good things. Dr. Kazemi, you said something
00:19:40very valuable. The topic of upbringing
00:19:43alongside education in schools, the topic
00:19:47of nurturing. Do you, as
00:19:50the Minister of Education, believe that both should be equal,
00:19:53with schools that do not observe both, meaning they pay more
00:19:57attention to education at the request of some
00:20:01parents? Look, this
00:20:04problem belongs to the education system.
00:20:07It belongs to the curriculum. Look,
00:20:10the fact that I have focused on the curriculum
00:20:13and am bringing about a transformation in the curriculum
00:20:17is precisely because of this problem you mentioned.
00:20:21Now, if you go to a school, the grades,
00:20:25the exam scores are the first thing, and the principal
00:20:29is also judged by them. Educational activities are marginalized.
00:20:32They are not in the main curriculum. Educational evaluations
00:20:36do not even exist in schools. Do you understand?
00:20:39We see the curriculum as integrated.
00:20:42We see sports activities and educational
00:20:46opportunities in schools far beyond what they are
00:20:49now. We see student agency
00:20:52as the main focus of curriculum programs.
00:20:56We are abandoning the textbook-centric
00:20:59approach. We are strengthening the skill-centric
00:21:03approach. Right now, in elementary school,
00:21:05across six grades, we are implementing a plan
00:21:09to teach children one skill well, the skill of respect,
00:21:13the skill of manners, the skill of discipline,
00:21:17and many other skills. We have produced
00:21:21content for them. Many good things have happened, and fortunately, it's moving forward.
00:21:24We hope that
00:21:28during the time we hold this responsibility,
00:21:31we can both make good changes and
00:21:35address the systemic problems to the extent that it's within our power.
00:21:38Dr. Kazemi, we have 5 minutes left until the end
00:21:41of the conversation. Good work always comes with
00:21:45challenges, concerns, and some problems.
00:21:48What are the most important challenges for education and training,
00:21:52since you talked about transformations and hopes in the field of education
00:21:55and training? What are the challenges that require
00:21:58all agencies to help you to implement
00:22:02your programs? Yes, look, challenges.
00:22:05Let me tell you one sentence.
00:22:08First, you must change your expectations
00:22:12of education. That is, building an education
00:22:15system is not like building a building that you can say, "Do it
00:22:18today."
00:22:50You have to invest in a seedling for years
00:22:53for it to bear fruit. You have to invest in a student for 10 years.
00:22:57I always ask, "Where does the quality begin?"
00:23:00If we hold extra classes, will it, for example, improve? No,
00:23:04it's not like that. Do you know
00:23:07what I mean? I mean, if I
00:23:09can improve the quality of
00:23:13the first, second,
00:23:16and third grades, then in 8 more years,
00:23:23a quality student will be educated. Is that right?
00:23:26Why do we have an identity problem now? Because in these grades,
00:23:29we haven't been able to address these social
00:23:32issues, these identity issues. Now, there's a festival.
00:23:36The first stone must be laid correctly. Just a few days ago,
00:23:39at the gathering of our managers, we have two minutes. We want to spend the last minute
00:23:43talking to parents, for example, about identity.
00:23:47Identity crisis is not something that I can fix in one day. For example,
00:23:50modest living. But we are working on it. I consider
00:23:54it one of my missions. How can you
00:23:56so easily raise these children to be prayerful
00:24:00and teach them a modest life? After all, you have to sit down
00:24:03and talk to them, logically,
00:24:07bring arguments, change their beliefs.
00:24:10These are very heavy and difficult tasks, cultural tasks.
00:24:14We have started a good work. The Identity
00:24:17Festival in elementary school.
00:24:21We have launched the Identity Festival in preschools. Do you know what this means?
00:24:25This means that in 10 years, you will see its product.
00:24:29It's a difficult task, yes, it's a difficult task.
00:24:33But I want to say that education
00:24:36has fortunately been prioritized in this period,
00:24:40and with the help of this priority and, after all, the kindness of Dr.
00:24:44Pezeshkian, which I consider a divine blessing,
00:24:48many of our daily problems are being solved.
00:24:51The reports I'm giving are being solved. The backlog has come down.
00:24:55Human resources are moving towards improvement.
00:24:58The quality of teacher empowerment, human resources,
00:25:01all are receiving good signals.
00:25:04Yes, good warnings. Yes, well,
00:25:08yes, it has good achievements,
00:25:12but the truth is, if we want to achieve
00:25:15lasting, profound,
00:25:19valuable achievements,
00:26:02good for you, have a good time and goodbye.
00:26:28In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I am Jamal
00:26:30Kowsari.
00:26:32People, I am a taxi driver.
00:26:34Brother.
00:26:44Today was the day of sacrifice for those who came
00:26:47to pledge allegiance to the leader. We said we would offer
00:26:50tea, sherbet, water, and lentil stew for lunch to the people.
00:26:54After all, we want to have hosted the people. We are currently doing this.
00:26:58Now, in the morning, we are serving tea to the people.
00:27:01Let's see what God wants to happen by noon. My wife is a housewife,
00:27:04but now she has registered
00:27:08in the "Janfada" (Sacrifice for the Leader) program for relief work. She has gone
00:27:12there with her seven-year-old daughter. I am now looking for the children
00:27:16of Janfada. We are busy
00:27:18with these pilgrimage activities, otherwise we would have
00:27:22gone to that section
00:27:23among the military.
00:27:36The "Janfada" ceremony is a public readiness
00:27:39for any military attacks, readiness for urban attacks,
00:27:43so that if it happens, after, I mean,
00:27:46ordinary people can do relief work
00:27:50in crisis situations, they can help relief
00:27:54workers, and, as they say, the government
00:27:57and relief forces. This maneuver is for this, for public readiness.
00:28:01God willing, our country will never be involved in war,
00:28:04and this war will end soon, but people should always
00:28:08have this readiness, whether military
00:28:11or in the form of relief. People should be ready in every way.
00:28:15The people
00:28:21of hostile countries never thought that the people
00:28:24of Iran would have so many self-sacrificing people
00:28:28who would give their lives for their country. That is, no one in the world thought
00:28:32that the people of Iran would stand by their revolution,
00:28:35by their leader, by their system,
00:28:38by their country, by their land and soil.
00:28:42This proved to them that no country in the world is like Iran,
00:28:46like the people of Iran, who run away from their country when there is war.
00:28:50No, the people of Iran will stand by their country
00:28:53if there is war, they will not give up a step,
00:28:57an inch of their land,
00:28:58they will not give up their system.
00:29:12Mr. Tam, don't eat this sumac, Haj Ahmad. Haj Ahmad, don't eat
00:29:15this sumac.
00:29:18Haj, boy, this is Sumac.
00:29:20It's dangerous. Hopefully, these people will always be proud,
00:29:23our system will be proud, our country
00:29:26will be proud. We were proud, and we will become even prouder
00:29:30soon, God willing, with the destruction of Israel. We will also see America
00:29:33by the hands of these very people. Most importantly, most importantly, is the advent
00:29:37of Imam Mahdi. Hopefully, for the sake
00:29:40of Imam Mahdi, these very people will be helpers of Imam Mahdi.
00:30:32and the evaluation of the performance of the Deputy Minister for Parliamentary Affairs of the Ministry and executive
00:30:36agencies considered improving the livelihood of the people as a priority for the government
00:30:40and said: With coordination among the tribes, this goal can be achieved better and faster.
00:30:44Mr. Pezeshkian also asked executive
00:30:48agencies to make the necessary plans for the upcoming winter
00:30:51in coordination with the government to save
00:30:54energy.
00:30:56دهند.
