TEHRAN — A senior Iranian education official says the country has imposed new restrictions on 12 university social sciences deemed to be based on Western schools of thought and therefore incompatible with Islamic teachings.
The list includes women’s studies, human rights, law, philosophy, management and political science.
The education official, Abolfazl Hassani, told state radio Sunday that the restrictions prevent universities from opening new departments in these subjects. The government also will revise the content of current programs at dozens of universities across Iran.
