BBC NEWS | Middle East | Women graduates challenge Iran
BBC News, Tehran
The number of women graduating from Iran's universities is overtaking the number of men, promising a change in the job market and, with it, profound social change.
Twenty postgraduate students are sitting in a plush modern classroom listening to a lecture on environmental management at the Islamic Azad University - a private institution with 1.6 million students across Iran.
The room is darkened so the students can watch the lecturer's slide show comparing energy consumption around the world.
Three quarters of the students in this class are women - the five men in the class are huddled together in a corner.
