Iran's Ministry of Education announced that all schools will remain remote until the Persian New Year, while reassuring the public that educator salaries were paid on time despite the ongoing military conflict.
Amid the devastating US-Israeli military campaign across Iran, the Iranian Ministry of Education has mandated that all schools transition to remote learning for the remainder of the Iranian calendar year. Furthermore, the ministry addressed the economic anxieties of civil servants by confirming the timely payout of monthly salaries in an effort to project administrative continuity.
According to حامیان پزشکیان, a channel supportive of the current administration, the Ministry of Education spokesperson announced that school activities will be non-person (remote) until the end of Esfand (late March). The pro-administration channel added that the format of school operations after the Nowruz (Persian New Year) holidays will be announced based on the prevailing "conditions of the country." This directive was also echoed by the student-focused channel یِ دانش آموز, which reiterated that post-Nowruz educational plans remain contingent on national conditions.
In addition to the operational changes, the government emphasized financial stability amidst the crisis. The regional news outlet آخرین خبر خوزستان reported that the ministry spokesperson confirmed Esfand salaries for educators and staff have been paid, specifically noting that "no changes occurred in the payments despite the war."
The crisis-tracking channel اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری (Breaking News US War Breaking), citing the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA), amplified this exact official statement. The messaging across these channels highlights the state's dual focus: ensuring public safety through remote education protocols for the immediate future, while explicitly highlighting the uninterrupted compensation of state employees in the face of the ongoing severe military conflict.
All channels present a unified official message from the Ministry of Education, reflecting the state's effort to project administrative continuity during the severe military conflict. The recurring phrase 'despite the war' highlights how the ongoing US-Israeli strikes are openly acknowledged and factored into domestic civil service announcements. Source messaging was highly consistent across pro-administration, regional, and crisis-tracking channels.
