At the World Conference on Digital Education 2025, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Science, Research and Technology, Abolfazl Vahedi, launched an initiative to establish an international centre for digital education. The proposal was announced in a specialised session dedicated to the development and evaluation of the digital education system of the future.

The Iranian official presented the meeting participants with a detailed overview of the country’s higher education system, including statistics on universities, student population and digital infrastructure, as reported by
Mehr News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.

Vahedi also shared Iran’s experience in introducing digital and electronic technologies in the educational process, pointing out both the achievements and existing challenges of educational development in the face of the rapid growth of artificial intelligence.

He concluded his speech by proposing two directions for international cooperation: the establishment of a joint digital learning centre and the development of a unified quality assessment system for digital education.
