History of Bahá'í Educational Efforts in Iran.
While exclusion from education is a grievous wrong in any circumstances, the situation for Iranian Bahá’ís is compounded by the degree to which the sacred writings of the Bahá’í Faith stress the primary importance of education in fostering humanity’s material, social, and spiritual advancement — and the strong history of the Iranian Bahá’í community in seeking and providing education.
“Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom,” wrote Bahá’u’lláh.
Since the earliest days of the Bahá’í Faith, its followers have been deeply engaged in promoting learning and knowledge, establishing and operating schools, and seeking the best possible educational opportunities for their children and the children of others.

"Bahais were the first people in Iran to educate girls," she says. "If a Bahai couple has a son and a daughter and only enough money for one, the faith teaches it should be the daughter, because she's going to be a mother and her children's first educator."
