Motehre Sharihi

Motehre Sharihi is a prominent psychologist and educational consultant in Iran, recognized for her insights into the declining academic performance among Iranian students. In recent discussions, she emphasized that the drop in students' grades is not merely an educational crisis but also reflects deeper issues related to mental health, socio-economic challenges, and outdated educational content. Sharihi argues that today’s youth, while intellectually capable, often struggle with motivation and emotional well-being due to various pressures from their environment, including family financial struggles and a lack of effective educational support. Her work highlights the urgent need for systemic changes in the Iranian educational framework to better support students' mental health and learning outcomes.
