Aims Although with the onset of the activities of clinics in Tehran and major cities ‎mortality was somehow reduced, still treating mother- and child-related diseases ‎was affected by traditional medicine. Therefore, the need to promote general ‎knowledge and modern education to traditional physicians was highly tangible to ‎educated physicians and urged them to take urgent action to resolve this problem. ‎In this way, three main educational approaches were chosen for different target ‎groups: education and public awareness through publishing scientific and health ‎articles in journals, the teaching of traditional physicians through the study of ‎compiled and translated specialized books, and the inclusion of health education ‎courses in elementary education. The author has been able to compile materials ‎about the establishment of new schools and classical education through the ‎materials contained in the archives and libraries of the country, especially the ‎National Library of the National Documentation Center.‎
Conclusion Although a small number of national and state schools were established in Tehran ‎and the center of the states for the education of girls before the Constitutional ‎Revolution (Mashrootiat) with the assistance of the educators of that age, the need ‎to promote the health knowledge, especially the health of mothers and children ‎for educated physicians and midwives was essential. They tried to improve ‎public health knowledge and public awareness of women via the modern ‎education approach through: 1) scientific articles in journals, 2) compilation and ‎translation of books, and 3) public education in schools; in the later years, these ‎trainings lead to the establishment of the Higher School of Midwifery.‎
