Mehran, Golnar

Comparative Education Review, v36 n2 p194-211 May 1992

Examines literacy education in Iran, including educational objectives, content, student characteristics, teacher selection, textbooks, and obstacles to success. Concludes that Iranian literacy education is limited to reading, writing, and arithmetic, with no additional training aimed at functional literacy; and serves principally as a socialization agent stabilizing the Islamic Republic.
