Education is a fundamental civic right, and Article 30 of the Iranian Constitution emphasizes the provision of free education for all. Yet growing inequality and the privatization of educational opportunities raise an important question: to what extent does education remain a public right, and to what extent has it become a commodity dependent on individuals’ economic means?
The program includes a screening of the documentary Principle 30, followed by a discussion with Dr. Reza Omidi, a social policy researcher at LSE; Dr. Yousef Abazari, sociologist and retired faculty member of the University of Tehran; and Ali Nikbakht, the documentary’s director.
The event offers those interested in education, social justice, public policy, and economic inequality an opportunity to reflect, through research and documentary filmmaking, on the relationship between education, civic rights, and equal opportunities.
