Changes in the education system in Qom following the security situation

Following the security escalation, the Qom Provincial Education Council issued new guidelines ordering the cancellation of in-person exams and their transition to an online (non-attendance) format. According to the report on the خبر فوری جنگ ایران channel, the decision applies to students in grades 7 through 10, while a similar step had already been decided for students in grades 1 through 6.

According to خبر فوری جنگ ایران, the date for exams for 11th and 12th-grade students remains unclear, as these will be scheduled "20 days after the declaration of the end of the war." This channel, which deals with military affairs and reports from the front, emphasizes the consequences of the war on the civilian home front.

This report was also confirmed by the یِ دانش آموز channel, which focuses on education and student issues. The channel cited the provincial council's directive regarding the transition to online exams for grades 7-10, without adding further details regarding the older grade levels, thereby confirming the validity of the decision for most educational bodies in the province.
