Iranian Ministry of Education updates exam outline in light of the war

In light of the unstable security situation, the Iranian Minister of Education presented new guidelines regarding the final exams for 11th and 12th-grade students. According to a report in اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, exams are expected to be held 15 days after it is decided that the situation in the country has returned to "normalcy." This is a significant change, as these exam grades account for 60% of the weighted score for university admission (Konkur).

The minister emphasized that if war conditions continue beyond August 10, the ministry has authorized the holding of "internal exams" for all students in these grade levels, as also published in یِ دانش آموز. However, it was clarified that university applicants are required to participate in these exams, as their impact on admission to academic studies remains "final and absolute."

At the same time, reports published in فناوری فوری📡 and آخرین خبر مشهد indicate that current conditions do not allow for frontal learning in schools. According to the minister's announcement, in the event the war continues, exams may shift to a virtual format, with any physical exam requiring special approval from school administration.

The reporting sources include general and technological news channels in Iran identified with the institutional line, which provides regular updates from government echelons.
