Education
The Iranina high school system offers three majors to all students: Math-Physics, Natural Sciences, and Humanities. Nikan mainly focuses on Math-Physics. That does not mean that other subjects are not taught at the school. As part of the Math-Physics curriculum, courses such as biology, religious studies, English, Arabic, economics, sociology, georgraphy, and history are offered.
The main concern for most high school students in Iran is the Konkour (National university entrance examination). Nikan hires well-experienced teachers, some of whom having scored the highest marks in the Konkour. Nikan also hires a few teachers each year who actually took part in preparation of questions for previous years' examinations. Hence, the students are very well prepared. They generally perform very well in the Konkour.
