Iran has imposed new restrictions on 12 university social sciences deemed to be based on Western schools of thought and therefore incompatible with Islamic teachings, Iran state radio reported Sunday。

　　The list includes law, philosophy, management, psychology, political science and the two subjects that appear to cause the most concern among Iran's conservative leadership - women's studies and human rights。

　　"The content of the current courses in the 12 subjects is not in harmony with religious fundamentals and they are based on Western schools of thought," Iranian senior education official Abolfazl Hassani said. The restrictions prevent universities from opening new departments in these subjects, he added。

　　The decision is seen as a response to concerns expressed last year by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said the subjects could lead to religious doubts。

　　Some two million out of 3.5 million Iranian university students are studying social sciences and humanities, according to government statistics。

　　美国《时代》周刊24日报道，伊朗国家电台周日称，伊朗已对国内大学的12门社会科学课程进行内容修改限制，理由是这些课程所依据的西方思想流派与伊斯兰教育体制互不相容。

　　这些受限的社会科学课程包括：法学、哲学、管理学、心理学、政治科学以及两门最让伊朗保守领导层担心的课程——女性学科以及人权类学科。

　　“这12门学科内容和教义不符，因为它们基于西方思想流派，”教育部高级官员阿布法-侯赛因说道。他还称禁止措施能够阻止高校开设相关院系。

　　据悉，该决定旨在回应伊朗最高领袖阿亚图拉赛义德-阿里-哈梅内伊对此事的担忧。哈梅内伊去年称，这些课程会导致伊斯兰教受到质疑。

　　据伊朗政府统计，目前，伊朗各高校在读学生为350万人，而学习社会科学和人文科学的学生高达200万。
