to report Missionary thought and culture baseThe presence of clerics in schools has been seriously pursued since the administration of Ebrahim Raisi and measures have been taken for it. The process that started with Yusuf Nouri’s efficiency in 1401 and reached more than 3000 students during Reza Murad Sahrai’s ministry. The presence of students in schools exceeds that of a teacher and they teach in most fields from Farsi and English to experimental sciences and humanities within the framework of “certain work contracts”.
Yousef Nouri, the former Minister of Education, announced his priority in the same confidence vote meeting for the Ministry of Education: “Leap towards the new Islamic civilization and raise a civilization-building generation.”
At the very beginning, he pointed to the objectified example of a human being compared to the Islamic Revolution and said that this example should be placed in front of the education system. Approximately 16 million students are the target of this policy of the Minister of Education in the presidential government; From the first grade to the twelfth grade. After that, the work is entrusted to the university. The presence of students in the protests of 1401, the positions of the minister progressed in a way that caused some students and families to worry.
The story went so far that the former minister of education said that they send detained students to psychological centers. Of course, he probably meant the correctional center.
He requested help from the seminary to change the students’ beliefs and said: “We need to increase our interaction and communication with the mosque and external institutions such as the seminary.”
Hojjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimeen Hamid Nikzad, the secretary of the seminary and education cooperation headquarters, said in December last year: “The presence of clergymen specializing in child and adolescent education among students is essential to meet this need.”
As this official announced last year, three thousand students have succeeded in entering schools as teachers. Of course, it is not clear for what period of time this employment rate is. What is clear is the increasing presence of students and clerics in the educational environment.
The directorate of seminary and education cooperation about the need for the presence of clergy in education and why clergy should be present in education told Iran Watch: The entry of clergy into education is in line with the all-round education intended by the document of fundamental transformation to The title of the National Covenant of Education and Training is, education and training is considered the most important institution in the improvement of culture, thought, thought and building society, on the other hand, seminaries and clergy should consider the needs of education as a part of their mission and from it to Look at the title of an important mission.
Nikzad pointed out: about 13 million students, 1 million cultural workers and 15 million direct audience and families have a fundamental role in the foundation of culture, which cannot be described, therefore, the presence of the clergy program is a unique opportunity to implement the goals and The policies of the fundamental transformation document are in the formulation of short-term, medium-term and long-term educational and cultural programs with education.
The presence of clerics in education is in line with the fundamental transformation document
In response to the question, this official in charge of education answered the question of what fields the clerics recruited in education will work in; said:
The presence of the clergy in education does not necessarily mean absorption, but based on the document of fundamental transformation, it is cooperation with this fateful institution for the education of a generation arising from religious teachings and of course with a transformative educational perspective, because the important feature of Islamic education is its comprehensiveness. is In Islamic education, man moves towards the ultimate goal, which is God, by using the two wings of reason and narration. Islam pays attention to all dimensions and areas of individual, social, material and spiritual human being. In the educational school of Islam, the world is the farm of the hereafter. In a world that is prosperous in the true sense, a suitable baggage for the hereafter is obtained. In order to have the desired society of Islam, the theoretical foundations and practical solutions of education and training should be extracted and implemented from the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Innocents, peace be upon them, and the clergy is the only stratum that can help the education system in this regard.
In every school where Rouhani is present, the delinquency rate has decreased drastically
Hojjatul Islam Nikzad, in response to the question whether the activities of clerics are only in education classes, teaching prayer and religious issues, or are they present in other areas as well, said: “Definitely, some of the clerics in the schools deal with the things you mentioned. But what has satisfied the officials, parents and teachers in this regard is the presence of clergymen in schools and in other words, becoming friends with students as a trusted advisor in religious and even educational matters, and if we look at surveys and performance reports If you look at the province and the country, it is said that every school where Rouhani is present, the number of delinquencies has decreased drastically.

Why shouldn’t we use expert students for free in education?!
In response to the criticisms about the presence of clerics in education, he pointed out: Why should we not use expert students who do not impose any cost on the government during their studies in various disciplines? At the level of one field, which lasts for six years, they continue their studies in specialized fields according to their interest and orientation, and at the same time, they complete scientific degrees and academy degrees in prominent seminary and university scientific centers. It is not a bad idea to visit Bagheral Uloom Seminary University (PBUH) and have a look at its scientific groups and graduates and monitor the developments in the fields in question, this university has scientific groups such as culture, social and behavioral sciences, strategic management , cultural studies and communication, history of civilization, political studies, philosophy and theology, morals and Islamic teachings, philosophy and foreign languages such as; English, Arabic, French, German, etc., or the educational and research institute of Imam Khomeini, where the graduates of the fields Its variety is not only worthy to be present in education, but also manage university teaching positions well like other university professors.

See, when we talk about social justice and citizenship rights, we must consider all aspects of it. Critics of the presence of students in education are not bad. It is a fair activism. Regarding the educational and educational capabilities of the students, for example, see the Sisters Seminary and its variety of specialized fields, including the field of “Religious Education of Children and Adolescents” for third-level students, the teaching materials of this specialized field include; Education and training in the Qur’an and hadiths, theology of education in Islam, the jurisprudence of religious education of children and adolescents, the evolution of religiosity of children and adolescents with an emphasis on the Islamic approach, theories of the evolution of religiosity and its criticism, philosophy of religious education, personality psychology, play psychology, techniques Child and adolescent care and maintenance, child and adolescent classroom techniques, religious belief teaching methods, internship, child and adolescent counseling, child and adolescent education artistic skills, thinking and creativity skills, child and adolescent religious education internship, Arabic and English specialized texts , and other educational materials which, if not richer, are equal to what is considered for a teacher in teacher training centers or Farhangian University and is acceptable for child and adolescent education.
Female students can be elementary teachers
