Iran: teach July 29 2012

This autumn 2 new courses for how to be a prison warden will be started at two higher educational colleges. This coincides the abolition of several social science degrees at prominent institutions.
According to the head of Iran's prisons there are 220.000 prisoners nationwide.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ordered a halt to the expansion of a range of social sciences degrees, including women’s studies, human rights and law, after declaring them “founded on materialism” hostile to Islam.
By contrast, the jail warden courses – offered under the title “Judiciary Aid Work” – have the highest official blessing after senior prison officials spent three years preparing them.
