Educational Radio and Television

Working in collaboration with both the Free University and Reza Shah Kabir University, the Educational
Radio and Television center will comprise the third unit of this academic community.  ERT will expand its
involvement with multi-media educational systems at the secondary school level designed to meet Iran’s rising
demand for education.  By making education both public and ubiquitous through the use of the latest technology,
ERT can overcome the lack of teachers and school facilities, which limit the effectiveness of traditional teaching
methods.  Broadcasts on national and local channels, already used as teaching aids in the class room, will be
further developed into a new learning concept based on creative thinking and an understanding of the social
context of the lessons taught.  In addition, ERT will devote itself to training instructors to use the broadcasts as
teaching aids, organizing listening groups in areas removed from school facilities, and pursuing further research
in the field.
