Personal ornaments designing has a great influence on present-day life and culture and allied industries, but the current collges fail to provide its productive and creative programs because it is considered as just a part of metal crafts. Most colleges present programs only for producing items of pure fine art crafts, and therefore fail to present the programs that help the student to understand the related industries and their management. This study seeks to point to the problems of current personal omaments designing education in order to help to find its remedies, and tries to present long-term and short- term plans for them. I belive when the colleges develop their own suitable programs based on these plans, they will strengthen their ability to survive in this privailing open-door compryiyive world, widen their opportunities to contribute to related industries, and help the students to play better roles in the society.
