Iranian people are highly educated, with a literacy rate of over 85–90% and a strong cultural emphasis on higher education.
Iran has one of the highest numbers of engineering graduates globally, with over 60% of university students and STEM graduates being women. The Iranian diaspora in the U.S. also boasts high rates of advanced degrees.
Key details regarding education in Iran:
Literacy and Schooling: The national literacy rate is high, with estimates between 85% and 98%.

International Standing: While often ranked in the middle of global education tables, the country produces a large volume of graduates.
Brain Drain: Due to limited economic opportunities, there is a significant "brain drain," with many highly educated Iranians emigrating.
Iranian Diaspora Education
Iranians in the United States are among the most educated immigrant groups, with nearly 60% holding at least a bachelor's degree, and over a quarter holding a master’s or Ph.D
Iran significantly outperforms most Western countries in the proportion of students focusing on technical fields.
STEM Graduates: Iran ranks 2nd globally for STEM graduates per 100,000 people (~890), surpassing Germany (~610), the UK (~560), and the US.
Women in STEM: In Iran, nearly 70% of science and engineering graduates are women. This is dramatically higher than in the United States, where women make up roughly 53% of STEM graduates.
The Diaspora Performance
A unique point of comparison is the Iranian diaspora, which often exceeds the educational averages of their Western host countries.
In the United States: Roughly 59% of Iranian-born immigrants hold at least a bachelor’s degree, compared to approximately 33% of the U.S.-born population.
Advanced Degrees: More than one-quarter of Iranian-Americans hold a master’s or PhD, which is one of the highest rates among all ethnic groups in the U.S..
In Europe: Over 47% of Iranian asylum seekers in Germany hold a university degree, significantly higher than many other immigrant groups.
Systemic Differences
Literacy: Iran's youth literacy rate (ages 15–24) is nearly 98–99%, which is comparable to or slightly higher than the average functional literacy rates in the US (~79%).
Investment: Iran spends approximately 2.8% of its GDP on education, which is lower than the global average of 4.3% and the higher spending rates seen in Western nations like the US (~5.6%).
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
