The Iranian Ministry of Education has announced significant changes to the academic schedule following prolonged disruptions. According to a report by the آخرین خبر channel, the Deputy Minister of Education announced that due to three months of remote learning and two weeks of unexpected holidays, it was decided to add a week to the learning schedule.
As a result, the start date for exams has been postponed from June 1 to June 9. According to the Deputy Minister as published by آخرین خبر, classes will continue to be held in a virtual format, with teachers granted the authority to decide on conducting remedial classes if necessary.
As part of the new guidelines, the آخرین خبر channel notes that classes may also be held on Thursdays and Fridays, June 7 and 8, for students in need of material catch-up. The news was also confirmed by the خراسان آنلاین channel, which reports that the move is intended to compensate for the loss of in-person school days during the year. The reporting sources are considered local communication channels that reflect the official narrative of government institutions in Iran.
