摘要：AbstractEducation has always played an important role in Iran. However, with the passage of the society from an agrarian to an industrial one, it has come to a focal point. Thereby, like many other countries, Iran has been focusing on public education and the ways to facilitate it. To materialize this objective, education is provided through government funds. According to Articles 19, 20, and 30 of the constitution, the government has to provide every citizen with free primary and secondary education not considering race, gender and ethnicity. Globally, education is not important per se; it is considered as a tool for development. Free and compulsory education for all the children would strengthen human rights internationally, but does not form global education strategies. This paper tries to investigate the meaning of public education, its necessity, and if it should be provided free or not.
