The newspaper's editorial says educational institutions have now become the arenas where societies would decide the type of life they would choose and the future they aspire for. At present we are studying our educational system, as it is the best means for bringing up our generations and spreading knowledge and new values among them.
We believe that the school is the convenient environment for the development of national affiliation and acquiring skills and, knowledge and development of the generations' mental talents.
The government has worked for reforming the educational process and modernizing it. It decided to unify the education process, improve teachers' wages, modernize curricula, abolish educational centers and institutes that had not been licensed legally and introduce democratic concepts and human rights to be part of the curricula.
Some backward forces have seen in those measures as depriving them of the strongest and most effective ways for disseminating their backward and extremist ideas.
They claimed that those measures were meant to target religious education or target some religious trends and sects.
The truth is that the process does not target the mistakes and to straighten failures and spare our children the extremist culture that some forces of backwardness are trying to implant in their minds for the instigation of sedition and split the national rank.
