Remarks by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Non-profit higher education institutions are higher education institutions that are established and managed through the goals, rules and general guidelines of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and under the supervision of that esteemed ministry. Public participation is deemed important in the establishment of high schools, which lead to an increase in work productivity, unity among people, rise in the mutual trust between the government and nation, culture improvement, and realization of democracy. Therefore, the attitude, admission and encouragement of the actors is the main responsibility of the government and officials. They can facilitate the provision of a platform for participation and presence of the founders by providing them with the necessary guidelines and familiarizing them with their rights, powers, responsibilities and duties. Strengthening the process of institutionalization of private culture and legalism, they ought to regulate the independence of all high school affairs throughout the country. In the end, I would like to appreciate the efforts of all colleagues who have contributed to this collection. I ask all audiences, especially the founders and heads of higher education institutions, not to deprive us of sending constructive critiques and valuable guidelines.
