The UNESCO educational document for 2030, known as Document 2030, emphasizes issues such as ensuring equal and inclusive education, environmental protection, gender equality, and equal social opportunities for women and men, human rights, eliminating discrimination against minorities, and promoting a culture of peace and non-violence. On May 6, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, deemed the implementation of this document as 'unauthorized' and stated that the Islamic Republic would not submit to documents like UNESCO's Document 2030. During his electoral campaign, Hassan Rouhani accused his conservative opponents of sending a 'false report' about this document to the Supreme Leader and claimed that they distributed 'leaflets' in rural areas discussing issues not present in the document. Nevertheless, Mohammad Baqer Nobakht, the government spokesman, stated that the implementation of this document has been postponed until further notice. In this week's Views program, we have examined the educational section of UNESCO's Document 2030 with the presence of two experts, seeking answers on what points this document addresses. It is noted that in a contact made by Radio Farda with several opponents of Document 2030, they refused to participate in this roundtable. The guests of this program are Saeed Piyavandi, a sociology of education professor at the University of Lorraine in France, and Nahid Hosseini, a researcher in women's studies, education, and social changes in Iran, and a professor at Kingston University in London.
