According to the Communication and Information Center in the Vice Presidency of Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, a meeting of the Board of Directors of the National Elite Foundation was held at the Foundation with the presence of the Vice President of Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, the Government Spokesperson, and the Vice President of Women's Affairs. In this meeting, topics such as the role of elite women in decision-making in society, fair allocation of budgets between girls and boys, the causes of low participation of women in influential jobs, the removal of individuals with a gender-discriminatory approach from influential positions, and strategies for strengthening families to raise elite girls were discussed and examined.

One of the highlights of the meeting was the emphasis on the necessity of utilizing the capacity of elite women at the highest levels of decision-making in the country. The attendees at the meeting, pointing out the importance of women's role in the development and progress of society, emphasized the need to create equal opportunities for women's active presence and participation in various fields. Also, the issue of fair budget allocation between elite girls and boys was discussed and solutions were presented to eliminate possible discrimination in this regard. The attendees believed that budget allocation should be based on merit and capabilities and no discrimination based on gender should be applied. 

The reasons for the low participation of women in influential jobs were also among the other topics discussed in this meeting. The attendees examined the obstacles and challenges facing women in this field and proposed solutions to remove these obstacles and encourage women to be more active in key and influential jobs.

Also in this meeting, a proposal was made to launch a “Center for Gender Justice in Education” to examine and eliminate gender discrimination in the country’s education system, under the supervision of the Presidential Women’s Advisor, to ensure educational justice for girls. This center will strive to provide equal opportunities for education and advancement for all elite Iranian girls.
