Iran: Mullahs’ impatience with more female students in Iran’s universities

NCRI – In a bid to prevent women dominating the universities, Iranian regime is to impose a quota that men and women form a minimum of 30 percent in university courses.
The source of sudden concern by the Iranian regime however is the increase in the number of female students getting into the country’s medical schools; a nightmare for a mullah to be referred to a female physician for treatment. 

Abdul-Rasoul Abbaspour, head of Iran’s Academic Testing Organisation said, "Next year, at least 30 percent males, 30 percent females and the rest [of the students] will be allocated on competition basis," reported the state-run news agency Mehr on Monday.  

The Mehr news agency quoted Pour Abbas as saying that women made up 60 percent of new entrants in pharmacy and dentistry.
