The right of free education for all Iranian nationals is guaranteed by the constitution. moreover, we have private and semi-private schools and universities that could attract the population of students that could not enter public universities due to low scores. Iran has more than 4 million university students, a number which is close to or even higher than the USA. Just this year, more than 970,000 Iranian students participated in the entrance exam for master degree. Statistics predict that over 1 million Iranians will compete to enter university at master degree level from the next year, a number which is quite high by international standards.
When the last one happened? I remember I was watching a documentary on BBC (you must at least accept BBC as a reputable source), it showed Saudi people went to some representative of the king's house and they sent their complains and problems to him. It was like the time of prophet Muhammad, do you call that modern? I have nothing against Saudi people though, because I have nothing against people form other nations in general.
In social, economical and educational reforms Suadi Arabia is moving forwards and thats what matters... Iran is moving backwards in all of this issues... Last week they arrested Iranian citizens that works for BBC as CIA agents....
I don't know how Saudi Arabia is moving forwards and you and I probably have different opinions about social and economical and educational reforms.
Iran is cutting subsidies which is one of the most important economic reform plans that one country could have, it is opening the state economy to the private sector and is putting emphasis on the non-oil sector, while Saudi Arabia is increasing its oil output to meet the demand of the western allies, is still subsidizing things and most things in the country are controlled by Mafia and the princes.
Regarding social advances, Iran has a female peace noble prize winner and has international directors. Many Iranian movies are praised by critics every year in all important film festivals. Iran has the 3rd largest number of bloggers in the world and many other things. This is while Saudi Arabia doesn't even let cinemas to get opened in the country and says if women drive they would lose their virginity. lol
The Persian constitutional revolution succeeded in 1906, turning Iran's system from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy with a parliament. Since that time, Iran has always had an active political system, while Saudi Arabia is the exact opposite. The Saudis think that Arabia is their fathers' property that they have even put their own name in the name of the country. You're just a hypocrite my friend, don't pretend that you're a free thinker or a bright person if you think Saudi Arabia is doing fine.
I didn't said KSA was ahead of Iran, I said KSA is moving forward while Iran is moving backwards... It was mullahs fault that Iran iis under sanctions now... they could easily overcome this international pressure with calm and peaceful approch but they were the ones who decided to act like mad dogs to gain credibility from muslim word and to show US and Israel that they were unpredictable to scare them of and they god sancioned because ıfthat policy...
Yea Yea, we're moving backwards with the fastest growth in science in all fields. According to science-metrix, an independent Canadian company, Iran's scientific output would surpass Canada by 2017. That means we're going backwards. right. right.
You don't understand... It is not about where they are... It is about how much work they put into social advancentment... Irans manufacture of cars or its own missiles doesn't change the fact that Iran is becoming more and more oppressive and hard on its own people while Saudi Arabia becoming more and more free for its peole.
Sure. Sure. By killing protestors in Qatif and directly shooting at them, and by sending troops to Bahrain to kill peaceful unarmed protestors they're becoming a democratic country.
