The aim of the research was to investigate the level of access of children and adolescents in Ilam province to educational opportunities. In this research, a descriptive (survey) method was used. The statistical population consists of all students and teachers of the primary and middle school periods in the province in the academic year 2009-2010. The study method was library-based, and information extraction was done through the preparation and arrangement of statistical tables, charts, and checklists, and data analysis was based on the descriptive statistical method by calculating ratios, percentages, selection indices, the Gini coefficient, and drawing the Lorenz curve. The results of the research showed that: 1- Educational opportunities do not exist equally and uniformly for primary and middle school students. 2- Educational opportunities in counties and educational regions are not the same for girls and boys. 3- Educational spaces, considering the student population, do not exist equally and uniformly among the counties and educational regions of the province. 4- Counties and educational regions, considering the student population under their coverage, do not benefit equally and uniformly from the presence of teachers and instructors. 5- The academic transition rate of students from primary to middle school and from middle school to high school in the counties and educational regions of the province is not the same, but there is no significant difference. 6- The retention rate of primary and middle school students in counties and educational regions is not the same.
