PRIVATIZATION OF EDUCATION IN IRAN: A COMPARATIVE MODEL
Journal Title: Challenges of the Knowledge Society - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 0
Abstract
In Iran and after end of war with Iraq in 1988, establishing Non-Governmental Schools was first action of the government in operationalizing the policy of privatization of education. During the early years like many newly-established economic activities, a common tendency existed among the government and investors. In recent years, non-governmental schools’ authorities have been observing the “getting the stop sanction” proposal from the part of NGS founders. In fact, during the three last decades, different states adopted different policies about these schools. At the first years the government has followed “Strong Support” policy. In the middle years proceeded to the “Balanced Support” and now, the government applies the policy of “Washy Support”. At first part of present paper we shortly try to explain policies and strategies on privatization of education according to the Klein's Model. In the second stage, privatization experiences of education in other countries are referred. In the final part, we will try to show the process and position of privatization policy of education in Iran in a comparative perspective. All these issues will show that policies changes of privatization of education are affected by the lack of consistency in policies of different Iran’s States.
