🔸 On the foundation of Dar al-Funun/Masjid Jama'i: This school was a combination of new and old sciences

Ahmed Masjadjamei, acting head of the Salmi Encyclopedia Center and former Minister of Culture and Training of Salmi:

🔹 Amir Kabir did not entrust education to countries that have interests in Iran, such as the Russians and the British, and did not establish contact with them in education.

He brought as many teachers as possible from neutral countries and chose a language that had no direct interest in Iran. Iran was also a country of science, and so was Europe, and in fact at Dar al-Fonun they connected the old science with the new science and did not sacrifice any of them for the sake of the other.
