The Minister of Science, Research, and Technology said that we are advancing the higher education planning step by step and are trying to ensure the development of universities is based on needs.
On Wednesday, Mohammad Ali Zolfi Gol, on the sidelines of the cabinet meeting and in front of reporters, stated that we are advancing the higher education planning step by step and are trying to ensure that the development is based on needs in such a way that any field that wants to be established has an employment attachment.
