Abstract

The new educational system is one of important institutions in the process of national and international social construction in new societies. The changes in Iran's education from the establishment in the first Pahlavi period to the Islamic Revolution took place with the political and economic interventions of foreigners. However, in the field of impact of these interventions in shaping the educational system, and the role of these institutional developments in the social structure of Iran, extensive analytical studies have not been conducted. Our main question is to examine the role of the program of international organizations established after the Second World War, in creating a link between Iran's educational system and the global free trade program. The hypothesis of this research is the existence of a relationship between the evolution of the educational system in Iran and the political and economic program designed in the post-war period for world order. In order to investigate this hypothesis, it has been analyzed by the library and document method, especially by examining the documents left over from the development plans compiled by foreign organizations and consultants between 1328 and 1357. The main result of this research is finding educational planning lines centered on "career and academic guidance" in the field of creating a division of labor based on international needs, as well as changing the curriculum of schools in order to expand the lifestyles of urban consumers, in order to develop the consumption of industrial goods in the context of free worldwide trade.
