fields, after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, is undeniable.Education of women is the best way to develop their health, growth and
improve their cultural-economic status
Education, especially university education, is one of the important factors for the development of any country and every person has a right
Women as a part of society are not exempted from this right.With the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran following the Islamic
Revolution in February 1979 [by the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty (1925-1979)], a series of fundamental changes and developments emerged
throughout the country's social system, including the education of women.According to Article 20 of the Constitution of the Islamic
It states that the protection of these rights is one of the responsibilities of the administration and the governmental organizations of the
Republic have always stressed in their speeches the necessity to provide the infrastructures and opportunities for the development of women
If someone tries to deprive women of doing scientific work and economic, political, and social endeavors on the basis of some supposedly
Islamic viewpoint, they have acted against the divine decree
Women can participate in different activities as much as their physical ability and needs allow
They can engage in economic, political, and social activities as much as they can
The holy Islamic law is not against this
religious-political leaders, it is believed that a woman in Iran can be both traditional and modern at the same time; this is instilled in
the education they receive

The figure grew to 73 percent in 2017, showing a substantial change brought about by the Revolution.Statistics from 1986/87 years show that
65 percent of Iran's university students were women
medical sciences, basic sciences, and humanities exceeds the number of male graduates
