Abstract

Teaching the Qur'an is a duty and concern that has always been considered by the Islamic system, officials, teachers of the Qur'an, researchers in the field of education and compassionate parents of children. In this regard, although good activities have been done, but according to field research and the views of the Supreme Leader (May God protect him) and national experts in this field, there are still many problems and it seems that one of the most important causes of these problems is neglecting the goals of this type of training. These general purpose and goals should be extracted from important and upstream documents or the opinions of the most expert people in this field.
This study was conducted to investigate the purpose and general objectives of formal Quran education in the formal primary education system of Iran, based on upstream documents and opinions of senior experts in this field. The research method in this study is qualitative. The sample population includes all the upstream documents of the general policies of the Supreme Leader, the document of fundamental change in education, the Charter for the development of the Quranic culture, the vision of the national curriculum, the Higher Education Council, the approvals of the Quranic Culture Development Council and most national experts teaching the Quran in elementary schools.
Sampling method in this research is purposeful method and in data collection method, as filing and interviewing have been used. The most important findings are that the desired goal of formal education of the Holy Quran in elementary school is comprehensive education of the Quran, ie correct and fluent reading of Quranic verses, understanding the meanings of selected verses, contemplation and familiarity with the divine word in order to achieve the Quranic lifestyle.
