This study aims to investigate the views of the school principals and scholars in economics of education on the obstacles which render private sector participation in Iran' education. Sample included 284 school principals and ten of the well-known scholars in the field of economics of education who were working at Tehran universities. Samples were selected via the cluster and the purposeful sampling methods respectively. In order to collect data, a questionnaire with 62 closed items was applied. T-test for one sample was used for data analysis. The findings showed that the government's negative view and its mistrust to private sector potential to provide educational bases, participation for just economic benefits, lack of private sector's motivation entering educational market, lack of facilities anticipation and supporting and facilitating actions are amongst the most important obstacles which participants believe would not allow that the none for profit schools be expanded effectively in Iran.

The purpose of this research was to conduct a comparative study on cognitive, emotional and psycho-motor performance in terms of quantitative and descriptive Evaluation among second grade elementary students in the City of Dezfool. The target population comprised all second grade classes in Dezfool from whim 50 classes of descriptive evaluation plan as well as 50 classes of quantitative evaluation plan were randomly selected through multi- phase cluster sampling method. Measurement instruments used were: (1) Mathematics Science and Persian language students achievement tests, (2) Quality Of School life (QSL) questionnaire and Students reaction questionnaire toward classroom and the school for the assessment of effective characters. (3) Science and mathematics rating scales for Psycho-motor characteristics assessment. Independent sample T-test was used to analyze the data gathered. The results showed that although students' performance in descriptive evaluation plan in cognitive variables was as the whole higher than the quantitative evaluation plan students. the difference in math and Persian language performance was not significant. The diffrence in science test was significant at α=0.05 leuel. Also the performance of students in descriptive evaluation plan on emotional variables such as quality of school life and students reaction toward classroom and school by α=0.05 was significantly higher than that of the students scores in quantitative evaluation. There were significant differences between two groups in terms of psychomotor domain variables and differences were in favor of students descriptive evaluation at α=0.05.
