Iranian Education System

The Iranian education system is structured into several levels: primary education (grades 1-6), secondary education (grades 7-12), and higher education. Primary and secondary schooling are mandatory and publicly funded, with a focus on core subjects like math, science, literature, and religious studies. After secondary school, students can pursue higher education at universities or technical colleges, often competitive and exam-based. The system emphasizes a strong foundation in Islamic principles and cultural studies alongside academic subjects. Education policies aim to balance modern knowledge with religious values, and reforms continue to evolve to improve quality and accessibility across the country.
