With only a few days left until the start of the new school year, the situation of schools in Iran is extremely concerning. Mohammad Sadegh Mo'tamedian, the Governor of Tehran, officially called yesterday for the return of buildings and educational spaces to education, spaces that have been occupied by military and security forces during the recent war.
Efforts to Return to Normal Conditions
The Governor of Tehran warned all responsible agencies that they must provide the necessary conditions for an uninterrupted start to the school year. Although Mo'tamedian did not specifically mention the names of security and military organizations, his statements reflect serious concerns about the state of education in the country.
Since the beginning of the 40-day war last March, schools have been continuously closed or held online, and even after the ceasefire was announced on April 8, they continued with online education. However, the occupation of schools by military and police forces continued in many parts of the country. These forces even used school spaces to provide their daily services, which has fueled social tensions.
The Future of the School Year in Uncertainty
As the start of the school year approaches, the question arises whether schools will soon return to normal or remain under the siege of security forces. According to published reports, in some areas, students still do not know whether they can return to classrooms or not.
This situation not only affects the future of students' education but will also negatively impact their morale and motivation. Given that education is one of the main pillars of the development of any society, it is expected that officials will quickly address this crisis and create conditions for the return to schools.
