AccreditationIran operates a DUAL-MINISTRY higher education system, distinctive in the region. (1) MINISTRY OF SCIENCE, RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY (MSRT, Vezarat-e Olum) — regulates regular universities, technology universities, humanities and arts. (2) MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION (MoHME) — regulates ALL medical sciences universities (a separate parallel system since 1985 Iranian reform). Plus: Islamic Azad University (IAU) — massive semi-private network of ~400+ branches across Iran (and globally); Payame Noor University distance-learning system (~700+ branches); Applied Science University system for vocational; Farhangian University for teacher training; Al-Mustafa International University and other religious institutions under separate Howzeh seminary oversight. Iran has ~2,640 HEIs total. Quality assurance via MSRT's Iranian National Commission for UNESCO + university accreditation councils. Notable Iranian HE traditions include very high female enrollment (~50%+ at undergraduate level — often majority STEM), and strong emphasis on STEM/medical research despite international sanctions limiting collaboration.

Why this is free

AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to help people find their way to education — and the wider project supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
