Abstract

The present research was conducted in order to identify cultural and educational indices of citizen´s rights and strategies for their realizations in Iran´s education system. This is a qualitative and applied research. Given its two-step nature, it was carried out by combining document content analysis and Delphi technique. The statistical sample of document content analysis consisted of international, and national higher level documents and Islamic books from which the cultural and educational indices of citizen´s rights were extracted. Then, these indices were screened by Delphi technique in the form of a questionnaire with open ended questions and interviewing with 15 educational experts. Next, the mechanisms for their realizations in Iran´s education system were proposed. The results showed that the main cultural and educational indices of the citizen´s rights include intellectual property, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, cultural partnership, free information access, and education. The experts interviewed on Delphi technique suggested four main mechanisms – cultural and regulative, protective and motivational, legal and regulative – in 17 operational strategies in order to cultural and educational rights be realized in Iranian schools´ education system.
