Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said the future is not something to be handed over but rather constructed.

During a ceremony marking Student Day on December 7, Pezeshkian focused on the current problems facing the country, their causes, and potential solutions, emphasizing the role of the youth in building a better future, president.ir reported.

Pezeshkian also highlighted the importance of the National Vision Document announced by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. “According to this document, Iran will become a developed country with a leading position in science, economy, and technology, serving as an inspiration in the region.”
Pezeshkian also addressed the need for a structured and balanced society. “One of the important characteristics of developed societies is the well-structured and balanced in terms of social classes,” he noted.
The president expressed his commitment to enhancing the government’s relationship with academia. “We are working to create this structure and will increase our engagement with universities,” he said. “I believe that our universities should evolve from Generation 2 to Generations 3 and 4, solving societal problems. Today, Generation 4 universities are embedded in society, solving its issues, and Generation 5 universities are planning for the next 100 years.”
Speaking about the importance of unity and collaboration, he said, “We must work together, trust each other and respect scholars. We must help each other to achieve our goal.”
