The quantitative development of higher education depends on the policies adopted by different governments. But social demand can disrupt these policies. Increasing number of universities and uneven development of higher education influenced by global developments such as mass becoming one of the factors affecting the social demand of the population for the development of higher education in the country. The purpose of this article is to explore the impact of Iranian higher education development policies on social demand and the causes of social demand for higher education in the country.For this purpose, qualitative method was used. At the data gathering stage, firstly, a documentary study of the policies and laws of the country in the field of higher education policies was carried out, and in the other part of the research, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 30 higher education informants and stakeholders.The findings of the present study indicate that population growth and the growth of basic literacy rates in the country over the past decades, on the one hand, and social justice and the public's awareness of the right to know on the other have been the basis for their social demand.Social demand has led to the lack of territorial planning in the field of higher education and thus to the inadvertent establishment of educational centers, the high unemployment of university graduates and the consequence of passive policies in the field of higher education, and education has been deprived of quality.Therefore, given the social demand of higher education in Iran, which is rooted in the acquisition of cultural status, the causal link between higher education and employment is not conceivable.

The present paper analyzes the cultural experts’ and managers’ evaluation of cultural policy-making system of Higher Education and explores the place of the “model of plurality in unity” and “coexistence of scientific/education and religious cultures”. The method used is semi-structured interviews with experts. The findings of the research on the model of plurality in cultural unity indicate that this matter has been considered in the cultural policies to an acceptable level. However, these policies, similar to other cultural policies of the country, suffer from the dominance of interventional attitudes by the government. The intensity of such interventional attitudes has been varying depending on the governments responsible for the enforcement of the policies. Regarding coexistence of religious and scientific cultures, almost all of the interviewees considered it as one of the key cultural issues in universities. According to their evaluation, current cultural policies in the higher education sector do not pay due attention to this issue and no theoretical and practical arrangements have been made for the coexistence of these sets of values and norms. In other words, although there is an increasing trend towards rational interpretation of religion in universities (which has a direct correlation with the increasing scientism among the university actors including teachers and students), there has been a growing emphasis on Sharia-oriented interpretation of religion in recent years. Therefore, there seems to be potential challenges if the current trends continue.
