Government Student! Mohsen Younesi - 2003-11-01. The uproar in universities and government educational centers, along with the coordination of this group and ongoing dissatisfaction, has inflicted significant damage on public support for the ruling body. The government enforcers, like Allah Karam and others, have not made any progress and have disintegrated from within. Therefore, the ruling body is trying to create a rift among students. A few years ago (around 1370-71), I heard that graduates from the Imam Sadiq University were employed in major government centers?!! For about a year now, companies under the Ministry of Energy and Oil have been refusing to accept the degrees of students from private universities. Unfortunately, it is also a reality that the children of the elite and loyalists have monopolized the most benefits from government facilities with their various privileges. It seems that the ruling body intends to build a barrier of approved students to protect itself against dissenting students (whether state or private), directing dissenting students toward private companies while steering approved students toward itself. The outline of this plan appears to eliminate free educational centers except in the form of scholarships, which also require passing through the unlimited filters of the ruling body. Unfortunately, the history of tyrannical governments is gradually repeating itself, giving rise to the idea of a government student, a student who must support the ruling body against the nation, or else they will lose their privileges. Therefore, I request anyone with information on this matter to send their information to my email. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Email address: [email protected]. Mohsen Younesi, Industrial Management Expert, Fall 82.
