A. There are 2 types of Doctoral Degree in Iran. Professional first degrees in , dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary science can be awarded with the title of Doctor and may be translated as Doctoral Degrees. PhD programs can also be awarded as Doctor or Doctoral Degrees. If you are assessing either one of these qualifications you must clearly identify if it is a first degree or a postgraduate degree. If the qualification is in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy or veterinary science it is almost certainly an undergraduate qualification and is assessed by guideline 4. Postgraduate Doctoral Degrees usually have the title Ph.D. on the original language document and should be supported by Bachelor Degree and Master Degree qualification documents.

A.2. Section 2 - Other institutions

Qualifications are assessed as follows for Section 2 institutions:

No. Iran qualification Comparable to the educational level Assessment of the AQF qualification notes

1 Associate Degree Certificate IV

 2 or more years full time

2 Bachelor Degree Associate Degree A

 4 years full time

3 [Discontinuous] Bachelor Degree Associate Degree

 2 years full time  after an Associate Degree

4 Bachelor Degree Bachelor Degree A

 5 or more years full time

6 [Discontinuous] Master Degree Graduate Diploma

 2 or more years full time  after a Bachelor Degree

7 Other qualifications Assessed on a case-by-case basis Assessment notes

A. The years of study guideline criteria refers to the normal program length. This may differ from the actual time taken to complete the qualification. Most Bachelor Degree programs are 4 years full-time, but many students complete them over at least 5 years. Credits are the best way to determine program length: 4 year programs are 130 credits, 5 year programs are 180 credits, 6 year programs are 210 credits, 7 year programs are 290 credits.

A.3. Quality indicators

The Iranian higher education system is characterized by high participation rates and significant growth, reflecting the youthful demographics of the country. The rapid rate of expansion has resulted in quality differentiation within the sector due to funding, resourcing and infrastructure issues which impact on the quality of higher education provided. Some institutions are more affected by these issues than others. Those most affected tend to be recently-established, in regional towns rather than large cities and private rather than public. The rapid pace of expansion has raised general concerns about the sustainability of the quality of programs, the quality of teaching, funding and resourcing, employment outcomes, labour market readiness, and maintaining academic standards. This is especially problematic given the lack of formal, independent quality assurance of higher education. All quality assurance is undertaken by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. There is very little information about quality assurance processes, standards or outcomes.

The Ministry also oversees administration of the higher education system including recruitment for public universities and influences staffing decisions for private institutions. This aims to ensure that academics meet the Ministry’s educational and ideological standards. This has contributed to a shortage of qualified academic staff, which is further compounded by the number of new institutions being established and retention issues related to migration (especially in scientific fields). The Ministry plans to enact reforms that focus on decentralisation and increasing institutional autonomy in making staffing, admissions and funding choices. These reforms are yet to be implemented.

The Ministry is also responsible for the development and approval of higher education programs through a common national curriculum. This means all students in a given specialisation study the same program, regardless of the institution they attend. Programs have significant general education content which includes cultural and ideological subjects and specialisation starts later than in Australian undergraduate study. Institutions are not permitted to alter programs or develop new programs without Ministry approval. This lack of autonomy impacts on the quality of educational standards, given that academics cannot be responsive to new academic developments and the capacity for critical thinking is limited. This also affects the quality of research undertaken at Iranian universities.

Due to Iran's youthful population, demand for higher education far outweighs available places. All routes to public higher education admission are highly competitive. Options open to those who do not gain a place at a include admission to private or non-university institutions, which use a separate entrance examination, admission to a teacher training institution or enrolment in evening classes.

Of particular note is , which consists of over 400 branch campuses, and enrolls over 50% of all higher education students in Iran. Each branch campus is a degree-granting institution, but does not have the autonomy, size, diversity or research activities of other universities in Iran. Due to the large numbers and rapid expansion of Islamic Azad University branches, there is a great quality differentiation. In the 2000s, Islamic Azad University had annual growth rates of 20%. Our guidelines are based on the awarding campus stated on the documentation.

Organisation of assessment guidelines

Section 1 - Leading institutions Section 1 institutions are public universities, leading private universities and specialist public institutions. They are well-established, have good staff retention, exhibit better staff-to-student ratios, have comparatively good resources, contribute to original research and offer programs up to Doctoral level. Qualifications from Section 1 institutions are assessed at face-value.

Expansion in the public sector does not present concerns about quality as new institutions are normally founded on existing infrastructure. Public institutions are more popular with students. Entry is very competitive and lack of places has driven the expansion of the private sector.

The better quality branches of Islamic Azad University are also in this section. While entry to Islamic Azad University is not particularly competitive, these campuses tend to be more developed in terms of programs, resources and staff. Proximity to prestigious public universities increases the likelihood of having appropriately qualified staff, as private universities often employ academic staff from public universities on a part-time basis. Most institutions have been established since the revolution, have better resources than regional institutions and offer programs up to Doctoral level.

Section 2 - Other institutions Institutions in this section are public and private non-university institutions in addition to most Islamic Azad University branches. Institutions in this section were established during expansion periods in the Iranian higher education system. As a result, these institutions have limited access to qualified staff, low resources and often lack appropriate infrastructure. At private institutes student fees mostly cover operating costs, rather than capital expenditure, and therefore infrastructure at these private institutions can suffer. Many institutions are in small towns or remote regions. Entry is not as competitive as it is for institutions in Section 1.

These factors contribute to concerns about maintaining educational quality. Assessment guidelines are for undergraduate qualifications and Master Degrees only as very few institutions in this section offer postgraduate education or undertake research.

B. Technical and vocational education

B.1. Section 1 - Institutions supervised by the Ministry of Education

Qualifications awarded by institutions under the supervision of the Ministry of Education are assessed as follows:

No. Iran qualification Comparable to the educational level of the AQF qualification

1 Associate Degree Certificate IV

 awarded by a technical school or technical institute  5 years full time after Grade 8

2 Associate Degree Certificate IV

 awarded by a technical institute  2 or more years full time after Grade 11 3 Other qualifications Assessed on a case-by-case basis

B.2. Quality indicators

Most technical and vocational education in Iran takes place at the secondary level. Both secondary and postsecondary technical and vocational education is regulated by the Ministry of Education. Regulation and centralized administration results in a certain level of quality standardisation, however, there is minimal quality assurance.

Postsecondary technical and vocational programs do not require the pre-university year for admission. As such, entry to these programs is 1 year less than entry into higher education. Unemployment rates suggest that educational outcomes are inconsistent with labour market needs.

Organisation of assessment guidelines Section 1 includes guidelines which apply to qualifications awarded by all technical and vocational institutions under the supervision of the Ministry of Education.

C. Secondary school education

C.1. Quality indicators

Iran has high participation rates for education. Around 4% of GDP is expended on education, which has decreased in recent years and is low by international standards. More than 75% of government expenditure on education is on school education. Literacy rates are strong, especially among younger people. In order to support the youthful population, teacher education is a government priority. Only secondary school teachers are required to have a Bachelor Degree. Primary and guidance cycle teachers can teach after completion of an Associate Degree. In 2006 only 51% of teachers held a Bachelor Degree or higher qualification.

The Ministry of Education coordinates a national curriculum, leaving little room for flexibility in the classroom. School education is exam-focused, which limits critical thinking capacity. On completion of school education (after 11 years of schooling), graduates are not ready to enter higher education. Instead, students must complete the preparatory pre-university year.

The above quality indicators mean that we do not recommend assessing the final school qualification, the National High School Diploma, or the Pre-University Year Certificate as comparable to the Australian Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (Year 12 Award).

2. Education System, Iran

Overview of education system The education system Iran’s education system includes school education, pre-university education, technical and vocational education and higher education. Education is compulsory from age 6 to 14. Public education is free.

Language of instruction Farsi is the official language of instruction in all sectors. Students begin learning English in the guidance cycle of school education (Grade 6). Some higher education institutions deliver programs in English.

Academic year The academic year is from September to June. Schools have a 3-term academic year until Grade 8. Other institutions have a 2-semester academic year. Some higher education institutions offer a 6-week summer session in addition to the 2 17-week semesters.

Administration and finance The Ministry of Education is responsible for administration of school, pre-university, technical and teacher education. Responsibilities include developing the national curriculum, publishing textbooks and learning materials, supervising national exams, funding schools and quality assurance of the sector.

Higher education, other than in medical fields, is the responsibility of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. Health education comes under the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education. The Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Affairs is responsible for informal technical and vocational education. A number of other Ministries are also involved in specialised education, including the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Industries and Mines. All education policy and planning requires the approval of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, which is Iran’s legislative body. It was established as the Higher Council of the Cultural Revolution in 1980.

About Iran The Islamic Republic of Iran is a Western Asian country with a population of over 76 million (2013 figures). More than 98% of the population is Muslim, with the majority belonging to the Shi'ite sect. Iran’s main exports are oil and gas. Education has experienced significant disruption. The entire higher education sector was closed during the Cultural Revolution (1980-1983) to implement major reforms in institutional administration and the content and delivery of higher education programs, In recent decades significant expansion has been required to meet the demand generated by Iran’s youthful and aspirational population.

Diagram of education system

A. Grading systems

A.1. Overview

The grading system is generally the same across all sectors of education and is based on a scale of 0-20. Subjects are graded out of 20 or on a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 0-4:

Individual subject grades

Grade (out of 20) GPA (out of 4) Letter grade Classification

17-20 4 A Excellent

14-16 3 B Good/Very Good

12-13 2 C Fair

10-11 1 D Pass

0-9 0 F Fail

Although there are minimum passing grades for individual subjects, institutions at all levels of the education system require higher cumulative grades for graduation purposes.

Graduation and promotion grades

Level Minimum subject grade Minimum cumulative GPA at graduation

Secondary 7 10

Undergraduate 10 12

Graduate 12 14

Doctoral/PhD 14 15

Disclaimer AEI-NOOSR does not provide comparisons of overseas grades to Australian grades. We do not undertake grade conversions/equivalences due to the equity and transparency issues inherent with such comparisons. In our opinion, in order for comparisons to be fair and accurate, full information about grade classification, moderation and distribution is needed. Such information is rarely available. The issue is further compounded by a lack of national grading system in Australia, meaning there is no fixed benchmark to make comparisons against. Some grading systems are low-marking, others are high-marking. Some have no discernible trends or consistency. Rationalisation of such issues should be addressed in the policies of organisations undertaking grade comparisons.

B. Higher education

B.1. Courses and qualifications

Undergraduate education (کاردانی ,Associate Degree (Kardani The Associate Degree is also known as a Fogh Diplom, High Diploma, Higher Diploma or Associate Diploma. Programs require either:

 2 years full-time study (68-78 credits) after Grade 11, often completed over 3 years  5 years full-time study after Grade 8

Programs are offered by universities and other higher education institutions, as well as by technical institutes. The 5 year program is generally only offered by technical institutes. Entry to the 2-year program is based on completion of Grade 11 in any stream of secondary education and applicants do not require the pre-university year. Programs are offered in technical and professional specialisations, languages, maths, experimental science, humanities and art. The Associate Degree may be awarded as an exit qualification for students enrolled in a Bachelor Degree program once at least 68 credits have been completed.

(کارشناسی ,Bachelor Degree (Karshenasi Bachelor Degrees require 4 or 5 years of full-time study and a minimum of 130 credits. Most students complete more than the minimum number of credits.

Programs in most specialisations, including professional fields like , are 4 years full-time. These programs are based on the liberal arts model, with the 1st and 2nd years covering general education and introductory specialisation subjects. Advanced specialisation subjects are completed in the 3rd and 4th years.

Bachelor Degrees can also be undertaken as a 2-year program after an Associate Degree. A Bachelor Degree کارشناسی ,awarded following such a program is known as a Discontinuous Bachelor Degree (Karshenasi napayvasteh Bachelor Degrees are usually awarded as a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science with a reference to the .(ناپیوسته specialisation, for example a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Some institutions still use the term Licence (Lisans) rather than Bachelor Degree.

or Specialised (كارشناسي ارشد پيوسته ,Continuous Master Degree (Karshenasi-arshad payvasteh (دکتری تخصصی , (Doktura takhsees First degrees in some professional specialisations lead to the award of a Continuous Master Degree, also known as an Integrated Master Degree or a Specialised Doctorate. Qualifications in health specialisations are awarded with the professional title of ‘Doctor’.

Programs in architecture, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary science require 5 or 6 years of full-time study. Programs in medicine require 7 years of full-time study. A thesis and practical training is usually required. Students often take longer than the minimum duration to complete programs, as the thesis does not need to be submitted directly after completing the coursework requirements. Credits are the most reliable indicator of normal program length: 5 year programs are 180 credits, 6 year programs are 210 credits, 7 year programs are 290 credits.

Postgraduate education (كارشﻨاسي ارشﺪ ناپﯿﻮسﺘه ,Discontinuous Master Degree (Karshenasi-arshad napayvasteh The Discontinuous Master Degree is a postgraduate Master Degree. Programs require 2 years of full time study after a Bachelor Degree. Credit requirement depend on the type of program: research programs are usually 28-32 credits, coursework programs are usually 36-40 credits. All programs require a thesis, which is worth 4-10 credits, depending on the specialisation.

(دکترا ,Doctoral Degree (Doktura The Doctoral Degree is commonly referred to as a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and requires at least 3 years (and a maximum of 6 years) of full-time study and research. Programs are divided into 2 stages: coursework and research.

Students must complete 12-30 credits of coursework. After this students sit a comprehensive exam which determines entry to the research stage. The research stage requires development of an original research thesis, research, results of which must be published in at least 2 journals before the thesis can be defended. The examination committee consists of qualified academics from outside Iran, or from Iranian institutions other than the awarding institution.

B.2. Admission requirements

Undergraduate education (کاردانی ,Associate Degree (Kardani Entry is based on completion of Grade 11 in any stream (academic, technical or skills). Some institutions may also have an entrance exam.

Continuous Master Degree (Karshenasi-arshad ,(کارشناسی ,Bachelor Degree (Karshenasi (دکتری تخصصی ,and Specialised Doctorate (Doktura takhsees (كارشناسي ارشد پيوسته ,payvasteh (پیش دانشگاهی ,Entry is based on entrance exams. Students must complete the pre-university year (peesh daneshgah-ii to be eligible to sit the entrance exams. Most students sit the konkur, a national entrance exam used to admit students to all public universities and most private universities. The national konkur exam is held in June and covers and literature, history, maths and the foreign language the student studied during the pre-university year.

Islamic Azad University has its own entrance exam, which is similar to the konkur but less competitive. Non-university institutions such as higher education institutes and teacher training colleges also have their own entrance exams.

Postgraduate education (كارشﻨاسي ارشﺪ ناپﯿﻮسﺘه ,Discontinuous Master Degree (Karshenasi-arshad napayvasteh Entry to postgraduate Master Degrees is based on an entrance exam. Students must have a Bachelor Degree to be eligible to sit the national postgraduate konkur entrance exam.

(دکترا ,Doctoral Degree (Doktura Entry is based on a Master Degree, either continuous or discontinuous.

B.3. Types of institutions

Higher education is offered by:

 Universities  Higher education institutes  Technical institutes  Teacher training colleges

Most institutions are under the supervision the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. Health education institutions are the responsibility of the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education. Mining education institutions are the responsibility of the Ministry of Industries and Mines.

Universities each covering ,(دانشکده ,are composed of largely autonomous faculties (daneshkadeh (دانشگاه ,Universities (daneshgah a major subject area such as literature and humanities, medicine or science. Universities can be public or private. Universities can be comprehensive, specialist, applied, distance or medical universities. Universities normally offer a full range of programs; although not all universities offer Doctoral Degrees.

Public universities Public universities vary in size between 1000 and 35,000 students. Most public universities offer the full range of higher education qualifications, from Associate Degree to Doctoral Degree. 10% of programs at public universities are postgraduate.

Private universities In 1987 the Higher Council of the Cultural Revolution permitted non-profit private institutions to be established, primarily to lessen the burden on the Government and to provide more opportunities for Iranian students. Demand for higher education far exceeded the capacity of the state education system, and private higher education flourished, especially in urban areas.

The largest private university is Islamic Azad University, established in 1982 (although not formally recognised for several years), which has more than 400 branches with degree-granting authority. Branches vary significantly in terms of size, program offerings and research involvement.

Private universities mostly offer undergraduate programs. Only 5% of programs are postgraduate. They rely on student fees to meet operational costs.

Higher education institutes .are non-university higher education providers (موسسه آموزش عالي ,Higher education institutes (moasese-ye amuzesh ali They can be public or private, but most are private. They are usually located in smaller cities or regional centres. Most do not offer postgraduate programs or have research involvement. They offer Associate Degrees and Bachelor Degrees.

Private higher education institutes are officially known as non-profit non-governmental (ghair-entefaee ghair- .institutions (غیرانتفاعي- غیردولتي ,dowlatee

Technical institutes offer Associate Degrees. For more information, see Types of institutions (آموزشكده ,Technical institutes (amuzeshkadeh in technical and vocational education.

B.4. Accreditation and quality assurance

All programs must be approved by the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution and recognised by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, through its Council for Planning, which also sets curricula. Institutional quality assurance is also undertaken by the Ministry. There is no information about the processes or standards used.

B.5. Administration

Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution The Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution is the peak authority in education. It is responsible for ensuring that Islamic and Iranian culture is developed and strengthened through education and research. The Supreme Council is responsible for the approval procedures for establishing new institutions, the guidelines for higher education staff recruitment, determining policy on curricula and learning materials, and approving higher education programs.

For more information, see Objectives of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution.

Ministry of Research, Science and Technology The Ministry facilitates the establishment of higher education institutions and the approval of programs, oversees higher education policy and planning, and controls and determines the selection procedures for higher education admission at public institutions. The Ministry reports to the Supreme Council.

Technical and vocational teacher training institutes These institutes train teachers for vocational schools and technical schools.

C.3. Accreditation and quality assurance

Technical and Vocational Training Organization (TVTO) The TVTO is responsible for quality assurance of basic and advanced occupations through regulatory activities. The TVTO delineates basic occupations as those requiring education below Associate Degree level. Advanced occupations are those requiring education at or above Associate Degree level. However, quality assurance of education at Associate Degree level or above is the responsibility of the Ministry of Education or Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.

Key TVTO tasks include:

 developing and applying occupational skills standards  assessing and certifying occupational skills standards  developing training program curricula and learning materials  monitoring implementation of occupational skills standards by provinces  quality assurance of training delivered by training centres  authorising the establishment of training centres

C.4. Administration

Ministry of Education Formal technical and vocational education is coordinated by the Ministry of Education through postsecondary technical institutes.

Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Affairs The Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Affairs is responsible for non-formal technical and vocational training. Most of this training is overseen by the Technical and Vocational Training Organization, which reports to the Ministry.

Technical and Vocational Training Organization (TVTO) The TVTO is responsible for informal technical and vocational training, mostly in the form of short courses and apprenticeships for the purpose of training semi-skilled and skilled workers. Short courses overseen by the TVTO are from 1 to 18 months duration in industry, services and agriculture specialisations that lead to basic and advanced trade certification.

The TVTO has a network of around 600 public training centres and 14,000 authorised private training centres in addition to training delivered through workplaces, prisons, military bases and rural facilities. The TVTO also operates the Technical Vocational Research and Instructor Training Center (ITC), which is tasked with training a skilled workforce for the informal technical and vocational training sector.

The TVTO is responsible for workforce planning and research, as well as quality assurance of the informal technical and vocational training sector. For more information, see Accreditation and quality assurance in technical and vocational education.

D. Teacher education

D.1. Overview

under (دانشسرای راهنمایی ,Teacher training is offered in postsecondary teacher training colleges (daneshsari-rahnamai the direction of the Ministry of Education or higher education institutions supervised by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. The main institution for teacher education is Tarbiat Modares University. Admission is through a special entrance examination. Tarbiat Moallem University also trains school counsellors through a 4-year program leading to a Bachelor Degree in counselling and guidance. The Faculty of Education at University trains educationalists rather than school teachers. Primary teacher education Primary teachers (Grades 1-5) require an Associate Degree. Programs require 2 years of full-time education after Grade 11. For more information, see Courses and qualifications in higher education. Primary teachers in rural areas may only require a certificate based on 3 years of full-time study (2 years at secondary level and 1 year at a teacher training college) after Grade 8. Guidance cycle teacher education Guidance cycle teachers (Grades 6-8) require an Associate Degree. Programs require 2 years of full-time education after Grade 11. For more information, see Courses and qualifications in higher education.

Following completion of the program prospective teachers may undertake an additional 2-year program leading to a Bachelor Degree in education to become secondary school teachers. Secondary teacher education Secondary teachers (Grades 9-11) require a Bachelor Degree in education or 1-year professional education program following a 4-year Bachelor Degree in any other field.

The first 2 years of the Bachelor Degree prepares teachers for the guidance cycle. The second 2 years prepares students for teaching in secondary schools.

E. School education

E.1. Preschool

Preschool education is not part of formal school education and is not compulsory. It is offered by private institutions to children aged 5 and the program generally lasts 1 year.

E.2. Primary

Structure of primary education Primary education is divided into 2 compulsory cycles:

 primary cycle (dabestan) – covers Grades 1-5 and is for students aged 6-10  guidance cycle (doreh-e rahnama-ii) – covers Grades 6-8 and is for students aged 11-14

The guidance cycle is also known as lower secondary or middle cycle.

Curriculum The Ministry of Education sets the national curriculum. The primary and guidance cycle curriculum covers Islamic studies, Persian (Farsi) studies – including reading, writing and comprehension, social studies, science, mathematics and science.

The guidance cycle is designed to determine students' abilities and talents for academic or technical studies at the secondary level.

Qualifications and assessment At the end of the primary cycle (Grade 5) students sit a national exam. At the end of the guidance cycle (Grade 8) students take a regional examination conducted by the provincial education authorities. Successful students are awarded a Certificate of General Education, also translated as General Certificate of Guidance Education

Access to secondary school education Graduates of the guidance cycle with appropriate grades in the relevant subjects are eligible to continue their education in the academic or technical branch of the secondary cycle.

E.3. Secondary

Structure of secondary education Secondary education (dabeerestan) covers Grades 9-11 and is for students aged 14-17. It is also known as the intermediate cycle.

Students choose from 1 of 3 streams, based on their results in the guidance cycle:

1. Academic (nazari) 2. Technical (fani herfei) 3. Skills (kar-danesh) For more information on the skills stream, see Courses and qualifications in technical and vocational education.

Curriculum The academic and technical streams are very similar in the first 2 years. Students follow a common curriculum of general education. Subjects include religious education, Persian literature, Arabic, Persian (Farsi), foreign language (usually English), social sciences, economics, physics, chemistry, maths, history of Iran, geography of Iran, biology and physical education.
