Iran Press/Iran news: Stressing respect for the country's scholars, Masoud Pezeshkian said that knowledge skills and changing behavior are important in education, noting that in other countries attention is not paid to what grade one gets, but behavior is also important, and a teacher's recommendation for a student has a higher value than the grade.
As the president of Iran, Pezeshkian vowed to remove the obstacles in the way of the consumers' cooperative companies so that any company seeking to work could easily step in.
Cooperatives frequently have social goals, which they aim to accomplish by investing a proportion of trading profits back into their communities. For example, in 2013, retail co-operatives in the UK invested 6.9% of their pre-tax profits in the communities in which they trade, compared to 2.4% for rival supermarkets.
Cooperatives in Iran
Cooperatives date back in Iran to more than 2,500 years when people were living based on the Zoroastrian religion, yet the official beginning of cooperatives in the country with the approval of Trade Law in 1924.
Still, in terms of organizations in Iran, the cooperatives started their work in 1935.
In 1963, a law was approved in the Iranian parliament to support the rustic cooperatives under the title of Central Organization of Iran's Rural Cooperatives to develop cooperatives in the villages. Four years later, in 1967, the Central Organization of Iran's
Cooperatives were established to explain the principles of cooperatives, extend them across the country, and develop the necessary laws for the cooperatives.
