Religious Education

Religious education takes place at a specialized institute that follows the Ministry of Education. It is for boys only.

The system of this type of education is the same as that of general Basic Education and Secondary Education in terms of duration of study and admission age, but it emphasizes on Islamic studies aiming at the preparation of men with an appropriate background in religious affairs.

In the light of the development of religious education, a Jafari Religious Institute has been inaugurated in 2002/2003. The curriculum in this institute is similar to the one applied in public schools, except for the Islamic Education, where an Islamic Law (Sharia), according to the Jafari Doctrine has been added.
