Imam once in his historic remarks some exploiting powers have been misusing the people ignorance in the past to advance their vicious agenda.
The great religious and spiritual leader maintained that if people equip themselves with knowledge along with divine training, then no power could violate their rights or impose dictatorship against them.
The great Imam launched an all-out campaign in order to spread education at all levels for all strata of people following the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
The great spiritual leader issued special guidelines and recommendations in order to improve the country’s literacy rate and promoted a wide-scale education campaign for masses and elites.
The great Imam ordered the relevant authorities to consider education as important as basic healthcare and social welfare.

The results for this campaign were soon tangible and the Iranian universities were expanded and their ranking was upgraded in the international system.
