The Situation of Educational Affairs in Tabriz during the Pahlavi I and Riza Shah's Cultural Policy toward It

The situation of educational affairs in Tabriz experienced significant changes during Pahlavi I (1304-1320/1925-1941). Some of these changes happened in structural and statistic aspects of educational affairs and some others affected the content of texts and extra curricle programs. In any case, both aspects of Tabriz education -pedagogic texts and nonscheduled programs- were affected deeply by formal cultural policy of Riza Shah’s government. Central to this survey is a reconsideration of effects of Pahlavi I’s cultural policy on educational affairs. This is a basic appraisal of this matter and the methodology we have used may call a descriptive – analytical one.
