Speaking at the third level of the Comprehensive School of Techniques and Tactics for Internationalization and Enhancing University Rankings in Imam Reza International University, Rezaeifar stated: “Today, power of countries is based on science and technology, which are considered key factors in creating power and establishing authority. Today's threats against countries are technological, and if a country lacks up-to-date science and technology, it will undoubtedly be vulnerable”.
He added: “Science and technology chain has components, and breaking any of these links in the chain results in losses. Unfortunately, when it comes to the chain of science and technology in Iran, we either find ourselves stuck in the education sector or get fragmented in the technology field, and in some cases, we focus only on applications without completing this chain comprehensively”.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Rezaeifar stated: “Alongside motivation, efforts and initiatives are the most important pillars for achieving scientific authority. Publicity without hard work backup will only lead to failure”.
He emphasized the necessity of teaching Persian in all classes that include non-Iranian students, stating: "Teaching Persian to non-Persian-speaking students and providing educational content in Persian is one of the three key areas of focus at this center."
The summit is currently taking place for three days in Imam Reza International University in Mashhad, having representatives from 30 universities from across the country in attendance.
