The Ministry of Education of Iran (Persian: وزارت آموزش و پرورش جمهوری اسلامی ایران, Vezârat-e Âmôzesh vâ Parvâresh-e Jomhuri-ye Eslâmi-ye Iran) (lit.

Ministry of Teaching and Growing of the Islamic Republic of Iran) established in 1964, is an Iranian government body (department) responsible for the oversight of K-12 education in Iran.

Each year, a certain portion of the yearly budget gets allocated to public educational institutions (government-run schools & universities).

Currently, the average of 20% of government spending and 5% of GDP is allocated to the education sector, a rate that is subjectively higher than most other countries that are in the similar age bracket of Iran (around the age of 50 years).
