Having the world’s youngest population, the Islamic Republic of Iran bears the responsibility of educating more than 18 million students at segregated schools. It comprises 5 years of primary, 3 years of lower secondary, 3 years of upper secondary and one year of pre-university education. The language of instruction is Persian .
Both universities and schools start on 22nd of September which is the start of month of Mehr in Iran that is the first month of fall and is annually celebrated joyfully. All the schools in Iran are segregated schools which are either all-boys school or all-girls school. In higher education, the classes are mixed.
Iran is a theocracy based on Islamist ideology. The central government exerts strong control over education. There are both free public schools and private schools in Iran at all levels, from elementary school through university. Education in Iran is highly centralized. The Ministry of Education is in charge of educational planning, financing, administration, curriculum, and textbook development.
Primary School
Primary school is called “Dabestan” دبستان and includes grades 1 to 5 (ages 6 to 11). At the end of the 5th year, students take a nation-wide exam which they must pass in order to continue to the next cycle.
Middle School
Middle school is called “Rahnamaei” راهنمایی also known as Lower Secondary School (Guidance) and includes grades 6 to 8 (ages 11 to 14). At the end of the 3rd year of middle school, students take a region-wide exam administered by the local provisional board of education which they must pass in order to continue to the next cycle.
High School
Secondary school is called “Dabirestan” دبیرستان and includes grades 9 to 12 (ages 14 to 17). The 4th year of grade 12 includes a college-preparatory year known as pre-university or Pish-daneshgahi.
Pre-university
Pre-university or “Pish-Daneshgahi” پیش دانشگاهی is the 4th year extension (Grade 12) to secondary school and last one year. It is an intensive year of study intended to prepare students for the national university entrance examination known as the “Concour” کنکور. During the pre-university year, students specialize in a specific field of study such as math, experimental sciences, humanities, art, or Islamic culture. Successful students are awarded the Pre-University Certificate and entitled to sit for the “Concour” کنکور for university admission.
Higher Education
At the higher education level, Iran has private, public and state affiliated universities. The largest private institution in Iran is Islamic Azad University.
University Entrance Examination known as the Concour
Entry to Iran’s tuition-free public universities is based on the very competitive University Entrance Examination known as the “Concour” کنکور.
Many private universities also use this examination for admission purposes. One notable exception is the semi-private Islamic Azad University (IAU), the country’s largest university. Islamic Azad University administers its own entrance exam, which is very similar to the “Concour” کنکور.
The “Concour” کنکور determines students’ chances to enter public and some private universities in Iran. It is a very challenging examination and only a minority of students who take it are successful in passing. Administered in June every year, the “Concour” کنکور exam, a 4.5-hour multiple-choice comprehensive examination, is demanding. Given the competitive nature of the examination, a cram industry providing exam-preparation classes thrives in Iran, giving rise to widespread criticism of the examination and its negative impact on school instruction, the last year of which is essentially focused on taking and passing the exam.
Women make up more than 60 percent of the college population in Iran but less than 20 percent of the working population.
University degrees in Iran
University degrees in Iran include:
• Associate Degree “Kardani or Fogh-Diplom”, کاردانی یا فوق دیپلم is a 2-year program.
• Bachelor’s degree, “Karshenasi or Licence”, کارشناسی یا لیسانس is a 4-year program.

- Specialized Doctorates – Degrees in dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine are awarded after 6 years of study and a thesis and require completion of the pre-university year for admission.
Grading System
Grading system at primary through university is based on a 0-20 scale. At the primary, secondary level, and undergraduate levels, an average grade of 10 is required for promotion to the next academic grade. At the graduate level the minimum average grade is 12 and in doctoral programs the minimum average is 14.
Every year about 150,000 highly talented Iranians emigrate in what the International Monetary Fund calls the highest brain drain in the world. The Grade Point Average (GPA) of 12 in undergraduate programs and 14 in graduate programs is required.
The letter grade equivalents are
- A = 17 – 20
- B = 14 – 16.9
- C = 12 – 13.9
- D = 10 – 11.9
Promotion through the Iranian education system is based on end-of-year examinations at primary, intermediate, and secondary cycles, and end-of-term examinations (sometimes both middle- and end-of-term examinations) at post-secondary cycle. At primary, intermediate, and secondary schools, system of grading is based on a 0-20 scale. An average scale of at least 10 is required for promotion. At the post-secondary level a system of grading based on a 0-20 scale is used too.The minimum grade for a subject credit in undergraduate programs is 10, in graduate programs is 12 and in PhD. programs is 14. The Grade Point Average (GPA) of 12 in undergraduate programs and 14 in graduate programs is required.
