Abstract

In this article, the author, based on an analysis of a number of sources, tried to reveal the features of the education system of Iran, which has its own history of development in the region, its historical stages and features. The author tried to objectively analyze the reforms and modernization carried out at different periods in the education system of Iran, mainly using foreign sources. The 1979 revolution plays a very important role in the life of Iran. Therefore, the article compares the education system for two periods: pre-revolutionary and postrevolutionary periods. An attempt was made to identify and show the results obtained using various tables. The education system was divided into primary school, secondary, vocational and postgraduate degrees. The reforms carried out at each stage were briefly, but substantively covered. Conclusions were made by analyzing the results of the reforms. The features of the education system in Iran were identified and the prospects for their use in the context of Uzbekistan were examined. With an emphasis on gender processes in the education system, the strengths and weaknesses of the two-tier school system were identified. Efforts were made to explain the post-revolutionary changes in the country, the Islamization of the education system and its impact on the quality of education. In conclusion, the results obtained as a result of the analysis were systematized and sorted. Suggestions were made about what aspects of the education system of Iran, can be implemented in practice and in the education system of Uzbekistan. When writing an article, the author sought to develop and substantiate his/her conclusions using methods such as comparative analysis and the use of statistical data.
