In science production, we are in the 16th place in the world, but unfortunately, Iran’s coribution to global research is insignifica. The share of research in the coury’s GDP is below one perce, while the global average of the share of research in the GDP is above one and a half perce, or the share of research in developed couries even reaches 7 perce of the GDP of these couries.

The main rail of the education system, which is the curriculum, must return to the research-orieed path. When teacher and knowledge the learner Normally, they are on the research track, they will unconsciously take action to develop the research.

Equipping schools with research facilities also requires funds. Unfortunately, the managers are so busy that research has become the 20th priority of the education system.
Referring to the cooperation of the Ministry of Science with the education system in the field of research, Kazemi said: We must reflect our problem system to the coury’s universities and research institutes. Part of the research we need in these ceers requires facilities aspects; Sometimes by providing the necessary support from us, these research institutes carry out the researches we need. We really have to see how much we could from this research capacity A We should use various libraries in the coury’s universities for the developme of research.
