An evaluation of vocational education. The quality of vocational and technical education in Persia has generally remained low. Despite Reżā Shah’s enthusiasm, vocational schools developed very slowly, and standards remained low (Menashri, p. 116). Under Moḥammad-Reżā Shah (1941-78) vocational schools developed sluggishly at first and became numerous only toward the end of his rule; quality, however, remained low even then. “Applicants were mostly elementary school graduates with a poor academic record; the level of instruction was low; the schools lacked proper equipment; the curriculum was not properly geared to the needs of the economy; and the graduates had little motivation to go to work in the trades they had trained for” (Menashri, p. 200). Vocational education has continued weak under the Islamic Republic. Educational leaders are aware of persistent problems, notably ambivalence about the future of vocational schools: “Should the schools be training their students to enter institutions of higher education, [or] to enter the job market?” (Menashri, p. 325).
