Iranian Vice President: Education of people is more important than oil

Iranian Vice President for Science and Technology Soren Sattar believes that the future belongs to the countries that invest in science and technology, rather than those who relies on oil and gas reserves.  "We  have realized that our main resource is not our natural  resources, while Iran has huge reserves of oil and gas. The main capital of the country  is the human factor," brains. "The country which invests in this resource, wins,"  said Sattar in an interview with the newspaper "Kommersant".

He noted that in choosing between investing in "teaching a five year old boy or the production of a barrel of oil," you need to invest in teaching.

"The future belongs to those who invests in science and technology, and to those who invested in its citizens, even the smallest, which in the future will create their company and develop their country," he said.

Vice President believes that a person makes himself vulnerable when constantly thinks of  hydrocarbons, which can be sold , and  whatever you want can be bought. But  it is impossible to intimidate  persons firmly  standing on his feet. -02В-
