In the Islamic republic of Iran higher education suffers severe deficiencies in relation .to the .expansion of the entire education system, with the consideration of the fact that the demand of higher education will keep on increasing, this has come at the time when both the private and public sector trying to find solutions to rapid demand of higher education institutions, however the public sector which deals with the higher education institute suffered the blow of being under-funded but the private sector whose main focus is mostly to gain profits in a short term period.On the other hand the lack of institutional quality measures in higher education institutions in the Islamic republic of Iran makes the students to be in uninformed position thus making it hard for the government to clearly understand the educational demands of its students therefore it becomes hard for the government to raise the standards of higher education in Iran.

Basically the Iranian government struggles to provide higher education using a smaller budget. Ideally there is a close connection between economical development and the growth of higher education in the Islamic republic of Iran however this will always have the inclusion of culture and knowledge and on how they spread on the contrary the Iranian government has put in place ineffective policies which plays a hindrance role in development and growth of higher education basically the higher education system in Iran is greatly affected by the low quality in the kind of education which is implemented in the school. In addition the main reason for the low quality education offered in Iranian higher education institutions is as a result of high number of students being enrolled, poor management, and lack of adequate technology, poor instructional methods and poor incentives for both the teachers and the students. Despite the fact that the world has evolved in terms of technology the Iranian higher education system is still using the old educating system which are total unable to meet current educational needs. There is need for an immediate reform and transformation due to the increased rate of educational crisis and challenges. The Iranian government suffers from the lack of resources in reforming high education system; generally this process needs financial adjustments which are highly required by the global economy, as a precaution the government of Iran is ready to increase the cost .incurred in basic education on that of basic health and take the limitation of the cost, which is left for the purpose of expanding higher education introducing new reforms in the education system.

Currently higher education institutions in the Islamic republic of Iran faces the challenge of higher or rapid growth of the number of students which are enrolling for different courses in the institutions however the government and the governing bodies of higher education have not come up with the best way of dealing with social ,cultural and political discriminations. On the other hand the professors who handle different courses; in the Iranian institutions of higher education are poorly paid as a result they lack motivation as a result they will not deliver the content as expected , on the other hand the policies of hiring the professors at the higher education institutes is not on the basis of merit or educational qualifications but rather it is virtue of connections with superior politicians basically promotions are not on the basis of merit but on connections with powerful members of the government as a result this has rendered almost all member of the factuality in the higher education institutions to be under qualified ,totally out of touch with outdated knowledge which cannot benefit the current education needs. In addition there is improper use of the available facilities in the laboratory and the workshop as a result many students tend to fail in their respective fields of study. The management system at the institutions lack evaluation of performance and as a result there is very little being done to ensure that the kind of education being offered at the university is appropriate for both the students and the nation, on the other hand lack of transfer policy of the management staff from one university to another hinders the movement of new and different ideas from one university to another.

The introduction of computer and ICT in the curriculum of the Iranian higher education institutions was to serve the purpose of improving the efficiency in the entire process of higher education learning on the other hand the introduction of ICT have played Avery pivotal role in ensuring that learners memory is retained for a very long time, it also makes learners to be highly motivated and therefore their understanding grows deeper (Dede, 1998) collaborative way of learning has also developed in many Iranian higher learning institutions since the relevant organs decided to implement this policy of incorporation of ICT in higher education institutions. Basically it has promoted new ways of working and modern ways of teach (Balacheff, 1993) this has seen major changes in many higher education institutions however the Iranian government have to comment on the good work done by the factuality who suggested the introduction on ICT in the curriculum of the higher education of Iran(Whetston, 2001). This has provided the students with the required skills which are expected of them when they graduate. Higher education have undergone so many change in the recent years due to the introduction of ICT, however this come as the implementation of the government policies and the ideas which were cultivated the different educational intellect and several educational stakeholders who saw the need for transforming the way higher education was passed from generation to .generation, in addition this also was brought in to meet the current global economical changes and needs.
