Entry: Last days of an Iranian student Tuesday, January 20, 2004



These days are last days of first educational term of Iran universities, since most of Iranian students especially student who are educating in Tehran universities (e.g. University of Tehran, University of Allameh TabatabaieBeheshti University etc.) are so busy and also disturbed and agitated.

 

In Iran, there is a very important and huge general entrance exam for universities, called Konkoor (with rout from conquer) and all of Iranian youth must be succeed in it to be able to follow their graduating career in universities that are providing by Iran state. Students should pay nothing for services of these universities which are called “State Universities”.


In a sociological view, Iranian society is a pre-modern one which is in a critical social transform to modern and even post-modern situations. In a semi traditional society like Iran, there are not many ways to change social status and historical class which has been heritage of parents and grand parents.


In a society like that, there is only some few ways and pores that let someone to develop his/her situations. Konkoor is one of most important samples of those pores. Just like passing a funnel, because of very tedious and tiresome pressure of Konkoor, the most part of Iranian youth who are allowed to presence in university classes have no more energy for their first terms of educational progress.


Maybe that’s why Iranian students do everything but studying in most of their days! So last days of our terms in university, are the most important and critical days for us to make our endeavor to just pass the units and the same process will be traced again next term.


This faulty and patient cycle will go on until we make it correct ourselves…
