high schools

During the Pahlavi era, particularly under the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah, Iran's educational system underwent significant transformations, with high schools playing a central role in secondary education. The educational programs were designed in such a way that an Iranian high school graduate often possessed a higher level of literacy and knowledge compared to many high school graduates from Western countries. Comprehensive and extensive educational curricula, focusing on subjects such as sciences, mathematics, foreign languages, and humanities, ensured that students were well-prepared with strong academic and cultural foundations.
