Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect
of the Iranian Resistance
|
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance's President-elect, hailed Iran's university and high school
students, teachers, professors as well as education and university faculties as
"future makers" and wished them a fruitful year, with more extensive
protests and advancement on the path of freedom and emancipation of the people
of Iran.
In a
partial review of the abysmal situation of education in Iran, Mrs. Rajavi said:
Every year, at least a quarter of Iranian students have to quit school, a
number of whom join child workers whose numbers are today estimated between 2
to 5 million. Many rural schools have been shut down in a drive to cut down the
budget, and the policy of privatization of education, which is being expanded
by Rouhani, has brought about only further anarchy and regression. The quality
of education has sharply declined and the living standard of teachers and
university professors has plummeted dramatically.
