I don't have time to read the report. Where does it say that Iran has the world's fastest growth rate, etc.? How was it measured? If it's merely in terms of numbers of graduates, you need to keep two things in mind: 1) Most of these scientists are either irreligious or totally atheist 2) Most are probably expats to different countries with no plans to return to Iran.

So in reality, the nation-state called Iran has gained nothing. It's brain drain.

The number of PhDs is irrelevant without innovation, and that still mostly happens in America, Israel, and Korea.
