The number of future actors in Iran

Is actors' future determined at university?
If those admitted to public universities in acting do not drop out and, going forward, also have a little luck, we should probably in 4 years' time expect 112 new actors who entered university this year (1399 (2020/21)). We will also have a number of actors who have a high-school diploma, and some will also be added to this group from Azad University. Some also study acting outside Iran and return to Iran; for example, Fathali Oveisi, who studied in Texas and came back, or the late Davoud Rashidi, who graduated in Geneva in directing, acting, and political science. Of course some actors have studied in other fields and then become actors; for example, Azadeh Samadi, who studied theater at Soore nonprofit university.
The University of Tehran, the University of Art, Bahonar University of Kerman, and the University of Zabol are the universities that offered this program as a daytime course in 1399 (2020/21). The University of Zabol and Bahonar University of Kerman also allocated 35 seats to this program in the second shift (evening program).
The acting program, alongside the cinema program, from 1397 (2018/19) faced the unkindness of nonprofit universities and all at once lost all of the 300 places it had at nonprofit universities.
The policies of the Ministry of Science will certainly affect the quality of future actors, and it remains to be seen how this program will admit students going forward.
