Irans institutes of higher learning suffered after the revolution, however, when tens of thousands of
professors and instructors either fled the country or were dismissed because of their secularism or
association with the monarchy. Irans universities have remained understaffed, and thus student
enrollment has dropped in a country that greatly esteems higher education.

During the Pahlavi era (1925-79), the

government implemented a number of
policies aimed at modernizing the
country and expanded the education
system. The Ministry of Education was
given responsibility for regulating all
public and private schools and drafted
a uniform curriculum for primary and
for secondary education. The entire
public system was secular and for
many years remained based upon the
French model. Its objective was to
train Iranians for modern occupations
in administration, management, science, and teaching. This education system was
the single most important factor in the creation of the secularized middle class. One
of the first measures adopted by the government after the Revolution in 1979 was
the desecularization of the public school system. ince the Revolution, higher
education has experienced significantly more drastic changes than elementary and
secondary education. The university campuses became centers of conflict between
students who supported a thorough desecularization of administrations, faculties,
and curricula and students who wanted to retain a secular system.
