For clues to Iran’s long-range strategy, study what the regime consistently teaches its students about war, peace, jihad and the goals of revolution, say scholars at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In the “game of thrones” in the Middle East, a thorough study of what is taught in the K-12 curriculum of Iran may tell us more than whispers heard in the ayatollah’s court.
Iran’s children are being groomed for war and martyrdom from the earliest grades, according to Eldad Pardo, a research specialist at the Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education in Jerusalem. His scholarly review of 80 textbooks and 20 teachers’ guides deployed in Iran’s public schools during the period from 2012 to 2015 confirms what earlier studies discovered, namely that the curriculum hammers the message that students should ready themselves for war at all times. Students are taught that Iran is leading a world Islamic revolution that will climax in an apocalyptic battle with the forces of “evil,” such as the United States and its coalition states. The curriculum obscures the divide between majority Sunni and the much smaller minority of Shiite Muslims, possibly to justifyIran’s global leadership role.
