According to the Public Relations Office of Larestan Higher Education Complex, Dr. Ali Talehzadeh Lari, a faculty member of the complex and the plenipotentiary representative of the National Organization for Educational Testing in the 2025 Master’s and Doctoral Examinations, stated that this year, candidates from the cities of Larestan, Khonj, Gerash, Owz, and Juyom participated in the master’s and doctoral exams hosted by Larestan Higher Education Complex. Given the successful administration of various entrance exams by the National Organization for Educational Testing in Larestan, this year as well, the complex hosted candidates from several southern Fars counties on February 21 and 22.

He continued: “On February 21, the master’s and doctoral exams were held, and on February 22, the complex hosted candidates for the master’s exam.” Dr. Talehzadeh Lari further explained that a total of 875 candidates competed in various fields alongside applicants from across the country, of whom 406 were women and 469 were men.

He added: “In ensuring the successful organization of this exam, in addition to the executive team, which undertook significant efforts, various departments also played a role. I extend my sincere gratitude to all of them. Additionally, I would like to specially thank Engineer Daman-Keshan, the head of the Larestan Electricity Department, for his exceptional cooperation in ensuring a stable power supply for the exam venues.”

With the efforts of the Hosseini (PBUH) Lovers’ Association and the Cultural Unit of Lar Higher Education Complex, a 40-member caravan consisting of students, faculty members, and staff was sent on a spiritual pilgrimage to the holy shrines of Iraq.

The aim of this program was to bring university members closer to the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH), guide them towards the right path, and promote a positive shift in the mindset of university students, especially the younger generation. Initially, Dr. Afroozeh, the rector of the complex, wished the pilgrims a fruitful spiritual journey, hoping it would help them in self-purification and elevate their understanding of the role and position of Imam Hussein (PBUH).

Following the collective salutations to Aba Abdullah al-Hussein (PBUH) and a chanting ceremony by Karbalaei Hamid Ejraei, the pilgrims were presented with gift packages and shawls. They were then escorted under the Holy Quran for a ceremonial farewell.

It is worth noting that, to ensure the convenience of students, part of the expenses for sending the caravan (under the shadow of the throne), which will visit the religious sites in the cities of Karbala, Najaf, Samarra, and Kazimayn in Iraq, was covered by benefactors and through long-term loan payments.

On the third day of the “Aine darân” poetry symposium at the spiritual space of the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza, attended by poets and enthusiasts of religious poetry, Mr. Mohsen Fereidouni, a staff member of Lar Higher Education Complex, recited his poem.

This poetry night, featuring 25 poets from different provinces of the country, showcased the poets’ expressions of love and devotion to the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) through the art of poetry.

Mr. Mohsen Fereidouni began by reciting a quatrain by the late Khalil Ro’ina, a renowned religious poet from Lar, and then continued by reciting his own composition dedicated to Imam Ali (PBUH) and Fatimah Zahra (PBUH). The text of the poems he recited is as follows:

“The product of sorrow you hold, O tear,
You hold respect before all, O tear,
Only God hears the sound of your song,
You have a wordless music, O tear.”

(Khalil Ro’ina)
