Before the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the universities had become center to implement curriculum and study programs as dictated by the colonial powers. They had installed their own persons who were brain washing the young men souls and minds.
However, Imam issued special guidance to reform the university system following the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979.
The great Imam wanted the universities to expand carefully designed fields of specializations which can fulfill the material and spiritual needs of the young generations.
The founder of the Islamic Republic also wanted the professors, researchers and students to focus on the scientific and spiritual needs and challenges the Muslim world was facing.
Imam believed the university systems should become independent and self-sufficient in field of technology and social sciences and should be able to offer their services for the entire Muslim world and oppressed nations.
The great leader maintained that reliance on the certain power regarding the education will leave negative impact on all fields of life and make the nation backward for the decades to come.
Imam wanted the university system to become progressive, expand its horizons, extend fields of research and technology which can fulfill all social, scientific and moral needs. Imam also believed that the universities and seminaries must become inspirable and take advantage of each other experiences.
Imam’s utmost efforts bore fruit in coming years and ranking of the Iranian universities and its research institutes were raised among the world recognized system. Iran made an unprecedented level of progress in humanities, social sciences and medical fields over the past few years and is offering services and interacting with intellectual and universities around the globe.
