Education plays an important role in a person's life because it allows for personal growth, enrichment, awareness of environment and opportunities for social-economic improvement. It is because of education, research and application that society has progressed the way it has and it is the lack of education that perhaps can be blamed for many dark spots of human history, particularly for women. Therefore, it is only logical to think that education would be available throughout the world, to all people, of all colors, economic backgrounds, gender and ethnicity in order to safeguard the future's wellbeing. One of most important criteria for measuring development of one country is importance of the subject and validity women have. Whatever the effective and active attendance of women becomes more in the social affairs, the country develops more. It's clear that real importance is not apparent and effective and the attendance is not symbolic. As women are appreciated, they can undertake their main tasks, namely up bringing human and regenerating occupational opportunity that will be accomplished in the future society. Thus the recognition of women status and promoting their basis and the role of training has very important to develop occupational opportunity. Many researchers have discovered that the road to education holds many traps and barriers. It depends much on the economy of a nation, and its religious and racial beliefs. In Iran for example, the role of education on women's life has affected their relationship with the other gender and their role in society. Most significantly, education after the Islamic Revolution has been used to promote the ideals of Islam, and to construct the ideals of motherhood and wifehood. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
