Considering the importance and necessity of being aware of the impact of socio-cultural services of the Civil Servants Pension Fund on the quality of life of retirees, the present study uses a evaluation design and methodology quantitative (survey method with questionnaire technique), examine four supplementary insurance, essential loans, cane, glasses, hearing aids and travel allowances, and pilgrimage and tourist tours services, and suggestions for improving this effectiveness. The statistical population of the study includes all retirees living across the country who have used the four mentioned services, of which 1317 people as a sample size in 5 provincial areas using simple random sampling methods with random number table strategy and based on the number of retirees in each province and province belonging to each region were selected and surveyed by telephone. The findings showed that although retirees are relatively dissatisfied with the fund's socio-cultural services, they generally have a positive assessment of the effectiveness of these services on their quality of life. The results of the study, although indicate the coexistence of retirees' dissatisfaction and the efficiency of the fund's services in the quality of life of retirees, but it seems that the optimal effectiveness of these services requires redefining and mainstreaming retirement and their quality of life based on the concepts of active retirement and subjectivist quality of life.

Present paper do investigate the educational policy in Iran by conceptual system of governmentality and accordance to Mitchel Dean’s “analytics of government” framework in three dimensions such as rationalities/discourses, technologies and subjects of government. Mmethodologically, mixed method of both Focaultian discourse analysis and genealogy were used. Statistical population consists of texts of educational policy such as laws of development plans in Iran’ Islamic pre and post-revolution era. Findings showed that governmentality which run educational policy in Iran is neo-conservative governmentality. The ideas of this governmentality are signified with returning to past, preservation and stabilization of order, attention to values, state hegemony and centralism. Educational policies in Iran operate with mixture of technologies of domination/power (governing on others) and technologies of self (governing on self). In addition, subjectivities of educational policy in development plans in pre and post-revolution have different forms. So that in pre-revolution ones, the most properties of subjects were vocationalism, professionalism, job-generation and entrepreneurship, while in after revolution ones, the ethical and value aspect of subjects were dominated. Results implies that the ultimate goal of educational policy in Iran is conducting subjects’ behavior in accordance with final values of neo-conservatism governmentality.
