Iran's encounter with the West in the modern era revealed signs of the country's backwardness. Iran's defeat by Russia's firearms and trained military in the two wars during Fath-Ali Shah's reign marked the starting point of this awareness of weakness and incapability. This approach, exemplified by the treaties of Gulistan in 1813 and Turkmenchay in 1828, along with the loss of parts of Iranian territory, was considered the weak point of the Qajar monarchy. Consequently, it became imperative to promptly address this issue on the agenda of the country's officials. Thus, the main question of the article is: What measures did the Qajar ruling elite take to address Iran's instrumental backwardness? Examining the efforts of Abbas Mirza and later Amir Kabir, as well as other Qajar officials, shows that training specialists in the military field with a focus on industrial education, particularly military hardware, was placed on their agenda. This documentary-library-based article, using a descriptive-analytical method, indicates that the formation of modern educational institutions in Iran was directly related to the goal of training specialists in the field of industry, including military, technical, engineering, and vocational industries. The Dar ul-Funun School was established as the first state school with this very purpose. This approach later became clearly evident in the curriculum of the industrial school.
