The modernization of the higher education system as the center of comprehensive development and its dynamics are a means of dealing with the emerging crises and ensuring that the needs of the society are met. Having this privilege is a benchmark for measuring progress and development in different countries and a powerful tool in distinguishing countries from development to developing ones. Therefore, utilizing a modern, efficient, and effective approach to higher education policy making that utilizes evidence such as qualitative, quantitative, descriptive, empirical and existing evidence from peer-reviewed research highlights the need to use evidence-based policymaking.
