Thank you very much for this opportunity and initiative.
My contribution is slightly at odds to your 2 questions, because it raises the instance of intentional governmentally-orchestrated discrimination in access to education. To remedy this, it is not only changes to legislation, administration, policy and content that is required but a change of the government's own mindset with regard to calculated exclusion from education and other rights.
The broader issue of denial of education in the Islamic Republic of Iran was addressed by Human Rights Watch in 2006, and such politically motivated exclusions have only been aggravated further since June 2006. One article discussing concerns in the tertiary sector in this time frame includes this The victims of these violations have therefore included a high number and a wide range of Iranians.
On top of all of these, however, the Iranian regime has exerted another level of denial of tertiary education to minorities as part of a broader policy to repress them - particularly to the Baha'i religious minority as part of a strategy to destroy them as a community.
The 31 year history of the utilisation of the denial of tertiary education as one of the tools in the arsenal of the Iranian government's suppression of Baha'is is covered in detail in this publication.
This is just to say that there are such instances where a major obstacle needs to be overcome before we can begin to move to the challenges captured by Angela's 'comprehensive and multifaceted strategies layered in three levels'.
