Optimizing the financing of Iran's higher education system faces major challenges such as smallness of the private sector, lack of a competitive market in knowledge production, the state's small role in higher education, and also the absence of new financial instruments in the capital market along with the development of the money market. As a result, the most important financing resources and major clients of academic research projects are state-run organizations, which also raise finance through tuition. Apparently, there are a few reasons why the higher education system should change its financing methods to achieve great goals. These reasons include intensified economic sanctions, declined capacity of the state to finance this sector, decreased power of families and firms to cover educational and research expenses through private budgets, and the necessity of making higher education expenses efficient with respect to the need to train the future workforce. The method of this study is a descriptive-qualitative, which was carried out in two stages of the library and the implementation of the Delphi method by referring to 20 experts. Aiming to introduce new instruments to make banking asset-backed securities (of facilities type) to education and research clients (families and firms), this study seeks to prove the hypothesis that the mortgage-backed securities can be employed to achieve the following goals. The first goal is to grant facilities to the students who are financially unable to pay tuition. This relieves the pressure on the Students Welfare Fund. The second goal is to grant business financing facilities to talented students. Finally, the third goal is to finance the firms that have research needs but are unable to cover the expenses through their revenues. Regarding 17 indicators, the research findings indicate that experts reached a consensus (Kendall's W= 0.702).

This paper examines the role of development banks in the fixed investment formation and economic growth of the country with emphasis on the facilities granted by development banks. To do this, quarterly data of the country's development banks in the period 2006-2020 and experimental tests related to the causal relationship of variables and estimating the long-run relationship between variables were used with the Granger causality test and vector autoregression method (var). The results show that the development sector facilities and total banking network facilities (except for development sector facilities) have had positive and significant effects on fixed investment formation and other banking network payment facilities except the development sector and liquidity volume have had no significant effcets. Regarding the relationship between the liquidity and total paid facilities of the banking system, with the variable of fixed investment formation, the results show that all paid facilities have had positive and significant effects and liquidity has insignificant effects on fixed investment formation. According to the results of the long-run relationship, the development sector facilities and the volume of liquidity, in the long run, have had a significant relationship with fixed investment formaton in the Iranian economy. According to the results of the short-run relationship, development sector facilities have had positive and significant impacts on fixed investment formation and investment in the economy. Therefore, it can be concluded that the development sector facilities in both the short-term and long-term have been able to have a positive and significant effect on fixed investment formation
