According to the OERP Public and International Relations, deputy director general of Bureau of Compiling Primary and Theoretical Secondary Textbooks, Yadollah Rahbarinejhad delivered a report on the activities of the OERP in respect of sustainable development in a meeting attended by representatives of public and private organizations at the ministerial bureau . He stated, "planning curriculum is basically a developmental measure that paves the way for both individual and social development from every aspect. In this belief, comprehensive development of students has been chosen as the main and common approach for all curricula. Therefore, textbooks are compiled to reach this goal. At the same time, we believe that textbook is only one component in the large scope of attaining development and its effectiveness requires promoting human resources and other elements in the process of education. In other words, comprehensive development requires comprehensive measures. Anyway, in the textbooks of different levels of education, students are provided with the instances of sustainable development as a key concept in four categories of social, cultural, environmental and economic development."
