Attempt for Iran free of discrimination and cultural poverty
We believe that we can.
| In spite of the success in development of academic education, the statistics of “illiteracy” and “low-literacy” are not satisfactory, in particular in deprived areas of the country: |
| The literacy level | The literacy level of the relevant population among Iranian people over 6 years old | the percentage from the total population |
|---|---|---|
| Illiterate | 9.8 million people | 15.4% |
| Elementary school education | 16.5 million people | 25.7% |
| Guidance school education | 12.5 million people | 19.5% |
| High school education | 16.7 million people | 26.1% |
| Academic education | 6.9 million people | 10.8% |
| Other courses, such as howzeh education | 1.6 million people | 2.5% |
