		Education in Iran began at the age of five, when children were eligible for a year of free pre-primary education to prepare them for school.
		Although education was not compulsory in Iran, partly because of inadequate facilities in the past, it was expected that all school- age children would enrol for at least the elementary and guidance cycles in the coming years.
		Education beyond the eighth grade, and indeed right through the higher educational system as well, would be free, provided students sign a service agreement to work for the Government, or in a specified job, for the same number of years as their years of free education beyond grade 8.

	Higher education in Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		State-run universities of Iran are under the direct supervision of Iran's Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (for non-medical universities) and Ministry of Health and Medical Education(for medical schools).
		The Ministry of Higher Education, which oversees the operation of all institutes of higher education in Iran, was established in 1967.
		Critics claim that for the case of Iran, such rankings such as SJT and THES are questionable when assessing Iran's institutions of higher education, since graduates from these universities routinely are well prepared and hence end up matriculating into the competitive elite graduate schools of Europe and the United States in comparatively large numbers.

		What is unique, and peculiar, about higher education in Iran is the presence of two overlapping forces causing chaos, unrest, confusion, and turmoil.
