Alefta, showcasing Iran’s progress in education: Minister
Iranian Minister of Education Reza Morad-Sahraei stated that ‘Alefta’ (Alphabet of Education Transformation) event marks the powerful showcase of Iran’s progress in the field of education and the transformation of the country’s educational system.
During the opening ceremony of the inaugural exhibition of ‘Alefta’, Morad-Sahraei emphasized that Iran stands proudly atop the peak of dignity today.
He described the event as a significant demonstration of Iran’s strength in education and the transformative changes within the country’s educational system.
Morad-Sahraei highlighted the shift from a controlling education system to a facilitating one, stating that the world has moved away from education systems based on punishment and reward and now focuses on participatory systems.
The minister underscored that an exhibition of this magnitude is a testament to the power of a strong educational system.
He expressed that teachers are the soul of this transformation, as they contribute to the construction of a new Islamic civilization, which is steadily progressing towards its goals.
‘Alefta’, an international event showcasing educational innovations by teachers, has commenced on July 9 at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini Mosalla and will continue until July 12.
According to ISNA, the international event aims to model and celebrate the heroic figures of educational identity in the country; share transformative school experiences; and inspire hope in the educational system.
One section of the event focuses on regular public schools and the submissions from these schools in the primary and secondary levels in the field of “innovative school ideas and experiences” related to education. Ultimately, three deserving schools will be selected in this section.
Another section is dedicated to educational experiences, where ideas from teachers or school administrators are submitted to the event, and awards will be presented to 11 winners.
The event also includes a special international section, which has accepted works from nine countries out of approximately 100 entries from 17 countries. An international award will be presented during the closing ceremony.
Over 38,000 submissions have been received for the event, and starting from the month of Mehr (September/October), teachers will have access to the submitted ideas in order to enhance their teaching methods and incorporate the best ideas.
The event will run through July 12.
