The Iranian Ministry of Education clarifies: Registration for public schools does not involve payment

In reports published on June 2, 2026, many Iranian media outlets emphasized the Ministry of Education's directive prohibiting the collection of money in public schools. According to خبر فوری جنگ ایران and خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری, based on Article 133 of the school bylaws, there is an absolute prohibition on collecting any payment other than student insurance costs, textbooks, and for vocational schools - work clothes.

The sources, some of which are identified with official communication lines or those focusing on breaking news, emphasized that even voluntary contributions from parents are not allowed during the registration season. As noted in SNN.ir|خبرگزاری دانشجو, a media outlet affiliated with students and close to conservative currents, "voluntary contributions can only be made outside the registration season."

Similar reports appeared in a variety of other channels, including تبریز خبرلری ️, آخرین خبر, and خراسان آنلاین, which sought to echo the directive among the general public to prevent the exploitation of parents during the annual registration period.
