SCHOOLS

Schools were de-secularized, whereas the schools were religious

before

The curriculum was re-written to support the new style of

government

Only about 10% of those enrolled were women, a 30% drop from

pre-revolution

Majority of upper classmen study abroad, and many of those who

study abroad do not return.

This creates a sort of “brain drain” in Iran

RELIGION

The new Constitution declared the official religion

of Iran to be Islam

Minorities such as Bahais, Jews, Christians, and

Sufi Muslims were imprisoned, intimidated, and

harassed because of their beliefs.
