Iran: Education System to Turn into Islamic Madrassa

Report in English

Katayoun: In the watchful eyes of the Supreme Leader, the Education System of an Islamic State should be in accordance to the needs of the state, and its purpose is to teach about what is “Islamic” and kosher, and to train people to be mindful of the needs, philosophy, and goals of the Islamic Regime. So, it is, therefore, necessary in his holiness’ mind to change the Education System and Islamize it once more.In Khamenei’s opinion--Islamic and certainly approved by Allah--a nation’s grandeur, its spiritual bliss, its political prominence, and its progress in scientific and financial sphere depends on its State Education System”. ‘What a glorious speech’, some reformist and lobbyist had shouted, right after the News hit the Fan.


The Supreme Leader believes that, “the previous education system was based on anti-religious mentality; the texts were filled with religious obscenity, and promoted nothing but Western Ideologies”, mimicry of flawed and rude, which was in opposition to what the Needs of our country were”!The Supreme Leader is diligently aware of the fact that the nation has a great capacity for “achievement and progress in all areas of Islamic sciences, arts (!)” and what have you, yet because of “improper training and teaching” that which has remained from the previous regime, the nation has not given its whole heart to the plight of the Islamic Empire. And, now, in Khamenei’s opinion, the Supreme Cultural Revolution Council (SCRC) has to butt in to get the reform and re-reform going, and that’s it.
Khamenei’s point is really clear to see. The State has a responsibility of training and educating young minds—creating ideological bombs that can go off at any time—but has not been quite successful at that art, and therefore, it needs to realize the urgency of the needed “changes” and act upon it—they would like to call it “reform” (Islamic –reform, if you can conceive the notion, of course).In Khamenei’s opinion, “the state is responsible for raising, training and educating brave, good-hearted, productive, innovative, dignified, and just human beings, who with their inquiring minds” would enter the great arenas of scientific endeavor, and contribute to the further establishment of the Islamic Empire. And to achieve this, his holiness points that, “we” (the mullahs) need to draw from Islamic culture (!) and re-connect it to the Iranian culture and from there we can start”. In other word, if Islam in its first attack against Iran did not diminish the culture in its entirety, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution would see to it and finish the job that his forefathers did not.
