Special Update: Ministry of Education's position regarding final exams
The Iranian Minister of Education has issued new and unequivocal guidelines regarding the holding of final exams in the education system. According to reports circulated on various Telegram channels, the minister emphasized that there is no possibility of holding the exams online or remotely.
In the channel یِ دانش آموز, which is associated with student affairs, the minister was quoted as saying that "the final exams must be held in-person, and fundamentally there is no possibility of holding them non-in-person".
At the same time, a number of other media outlets, including خبر فوری جنگ ایران, حامیان پزشکیان, خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاקره ࡆ جنگ فوری, تبریز خبرلری, آخرین خبر مازندران and خراسان آنلاین, presented a slightly softened version of the remarks. According to these sources, the minister noted that the exams will be held "after the approval of the competent authorities that the conditions for student presence at the exam sites are met".
It appears that while the political echelon insists on the necessity of physical presence as part of the academic standard, the executive mechanism depends on security or logistical situation assessments by those "competent authorities." The unified messages between channels identified with support for the government (such as Pezeshkian Supporters) and local news channels emphasize the high governmental importance given to completing the school year in the traditional way.
