Tehran Ministry of Education: Tuition refunds for services not provided in private schools
The Tehran Provincial Department of Education has issued a new directive stating that private schools are required to return to parents funds collected for services that were not actually provided due to the shift to remote learning. The decision concerns payments for direct services such as lunches, snacks, and additional study programs (enrichment classes).
According to a report by the آخرین خبر channel (associated with the Iranian establishment media stream), the ministry will implement a tight oversight system to ensure that educational institutions actually return the funds to the parents. The channel quotes the district director, who clarifies that: "شهریۀ برخی خدمات نظیر فوق برنامهها، ناهار، میان وعدهها، و... که دانشآموزان بهطور مستقیم از مدرسه میگرفتند و در ایام آموزش مجازی از آن محروم شدند، باید بازگردانده شود".
The report, which was also shared by the خبر فوری جنگ ایران channel, emphasizes that the Ministry of Education views the enforcement of tuition refunds as a significant regulatory task under its direct supervision. As of now, no details have been provided regarding the exact compensation mechanism or a timetable for implementing the decision in various institutions across the capital.
