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.
