He appreciated the administrators of the Ministry of Education and FTEU, and stated that FTEU is a mission-oriented university, and is responsible for teacher education and supplying the human resources for the education system.
Referring to FTEU as the evolutionary pillar of education, Borzooei considered the definition of the university as a sub-category of education policies to be a strategic measure.

Borzooei added that revising the curricula planning system, increasing the number of academic members, and providing apprenticeship and internship opportunities are among other essential measures that are being taken to improve the response to the needs of education.
