To gather information, a researcher-designed questionnaire was used. To assess the reliability of the instrument, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was employed. The face validity and content validity of the questionnaire were evaluated by specialists. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of the Spearman correlation coefficient indicated that the market economy has a significant impact on the secondary education system among students in Tehran. The technical and instrumental needs, cognitive needs, and personality needs do not have a significant impact on the secondary education system among students in Tehran. However, the communication needs and management needs have a significant impact on the secondary education system among students in Tehran. The market economy significantly affects the choice of field of study among students in Tehran. Additionally, the market economy does not have a significant impact on students' continuation or dropout rates in Tehran. It can be concluded that the market and its needs are related to the educational system, and if appropriate planning occurs between them, an increase in market efficiency can be observed.
