Abstract

Nowadays, a significant part of decisions related to public policy is made in an institution called as parliament. In fact, parliament is the most basic institution in field of policymaking in all political systems and therefore, it is very important that individuals which are to make policy on behalf of people need to have attributes, credentials and qualifications.
            Challenge is that despite great developments in the Islamic Republic of Iran’s policy making, policies made in the Majlis always face deficits and shortages and lacks a comprehensive approach and adequate reflections or are at odd with system’s general policies. Reason, it seems, is the lack or inadequacy of MPs’ qualifications. Appropriate solution is lies in enhancing MPs’ and national policy makers’ qualifications. In doing so, there will be certainly an effective parliament. This paper attempts to identify national policy makers’ qualifications and having analyzed data drawn from questionnaire, concludes that there are meaningful differences between the existing situation and the desired situation. In the end, some recommendations are proposed in order to enhance and institutionalize credential among national policy makers
