“Boosting Educational Excellence: Fars Province Launches Teacher Empowerment Program for Quality Learning”
Fars Province Kicks Off Teacher Training Initiative
Shiraz, Iran – Mohsen Kalari, Director-General of Education in Fars Province, inaugurated a four-day human resource empowerment program at Shiraz’s Shahid Motahari Farhangian University campus. The event, held on Sunday, brought together educational supervisors, specialists, elementary school mentors, and administrators from 61 districts across the province.
Kalari emphasized the critical role of teacher training in shaping not only academic instruction but also the social and ethical development of students. “Elementary education is the foundation of formal schooling in Iran,” he stated. “Empowering educators ensures a stronger start for students and aligns with national educational goals.”
A Step Toward Educational Equity
The program is designed to enhance teaching quality ahead of the new academic year, supporting President Ebrahim Raisi and the Education Minister’s vision for equitable, high-quality education. Kalari highlighted its alignment with the “Smart Education” initiative, aimed at refining curricula and instructional methods.
“This training is just the beginning,” he noted. “Participants will share their knowledge with 27,000 elementary educators across Fars in September, ensuring a stronger academic year.” Continuous professional development, he added, will remain a priority throughout the year.
Addressing Educational Gaps
Kalari stressed the urgency of resolving educational disparities, warning that delays could lead to long-term challenges. “Unlike energy shortages, which can be corrected over time, gaps in education demand immediate action,” he said.
With over 522,000 elementary students taught by 27,000 teachers in Fars, the province’s investment in educator training underscores its commitment to sustainable academic progress.
Launch of New Initiatives
The ceremony also featured the unveiling of the “Transformation in Teaching and Learning” program poster and tours of newly launched training workshops.
This initiative marks a proactive step toward reinforcing Iran’s educational framework, ensuring teachers are equipped to deliver modern, impactful instruction.
