The face-to-face education of schools continues/virtualization only in acute and temporary conditions

Emphasizing that the education policy is the continuation of the education flow and not the closure of education, the Minister of Education said: In case of acute conditions, education in the affected areas will be temporary and virtual for a maximum of three days, and after that, face-to-face education will be resumed.

Alireza Kazemi, while emphasizing the necessity of continuing face-to-face education in the country's schools, announced that the policy of this ministry is to maintain the flow of education in all parts of the country, and decisions about changing the way of education in special conditions are made according to the situation of each region and with the coordination of the responsible institutions.

He said about the educational situation of students in Hormozgan province: there is no need to worry; The whole will of education is that education in all parts of Iran should be followed face-to-face, unless the situation becomes acute.

He added: If there is an acute situation in an area and that area is bombed, training in the same area will be virtual for a maximum of three days and after that, face-to-face training will continue. Whenever the conditions change, a decision is made about the teaching method according to the existing situation.

Regarding the possibility of closing schools due to air pollution and unrest, the Minister of Education said: We will review and adjust the indicators of air pollution and unrest with the coordination and cooperation of relevant institutions, including the Ministry of Health, Environmental Protection Organization and crisis management.

Emphasizing the approach of this ministry in managing special situations, Kazemi clarified: We believe in managing the continuity of the educational flow; No closure of education.

The narrative of resistance and sacrifice in textbooks

The Minister of Education further stated about the ministry's plans to reflect the stories of martyrs and the narrative of war in textbooks: We must use all our capacities to develop and promote the culture of sacrifice and martyrdom. This feature is the advantage of the Iranian people in facing the arrogant world.

Stating that textbooks are one of the important capacities to convey these concepts to students, he added: We will reflect the story of standing, resistance and oppression of people in textbooks and we will present the narrative of this war in the form of books that are usually available to all students.

Referring to the capacity of extracurricular activities in schools, Kazemi continued: Cultural and artistic activities are another part of our programs. In this area, there are dozens of fields and cultural and artistic capacities, including storytelling, poetry, fiction, film, theater, and martyrs' memorials, which we try to use to keep the memory and names of the martyrs alive.

Referring to the emphasis of the revolutionary martyr leader on the importance of keeping the memory of the martyrs alive, he said: We are trying to use all available capacities to transmit the culture of sacrifice and martyrdom to the student generation.

Delay in the distribution of textbooks for some students due to late registration

In response to a question about published reports of some students not receiving textbooks in a number of schools, the Minister of Education stated: The problem of students who have not yet received their books is not a lack of books, but mainly due to late registration and the process of ordering books from them.

Referring to the population of about 16.5 million students in the country, he added: moving students between cities and changing their place of study is a natural thing. For example, a student who moves from one city to another may have his books ordered at the previous destination, and the transfer and delivery of books at the new location requires a process.

Kazemi continued: Students who register late due to renewing or choosing a field may also receive their books later; However, overall, we are not facing a problem in the field of providing and distributing textbooks.

He emphasized: It is possible that a student has not received his books due to family relocation, transfer from one city to another city or change of major, and if there are cases, students should announce the details of the schools so that the issue can be investigated and followed up.

The caravan of Turkish cyclists on the Minab route; Sending a message of sympathy to the world

Kazemi also pointed to the movement of a sports caravan from Turkey to Minab and stated: This caravan was formed spontaneously by the people of Turkey and its members reached Iran after traveling more than 1500 kilometers and are leaving for Minab from here.

He stated that this movement is a message of peace, friendship and sympathy with the people of Iran, and added: One of the achievements of this trip is to use the capacities of a spontaneous group of people to convey the crimes that occurred to the international community. Especially the people of Turkey, who are good neighbors of Iran and have always stood by the people of our country and defended the oppressed people of Palestine.

The Minister of Education, pointing out that this is the third convoy sent from Turkey to Minab, explained: Before this, a media convoy came to Iran, whose presence had a wide impact on the international level. Also, a caravan of Turkish benefactors traveled to Iran and participated in the construction of a school in Minab, and a school with the name of Turkey's Kosar Charity Foundation will be built in this area.

He continued: The new caravan has traveled this route with a sports approach and using the capacity of sports to convey the message of sympathy of the Turkish people to the Iranian people.

Sending more than 3000 letters from Turkish students to Iranian people and Minab students

Referring to the Turkish students accompanying this move, Kazemi said: The members of this convoy have more than 3,000 letters from Turkish students addressed to the people of Iran and Minab students and more than 9,000 paintings.

He added: The presence of this caravan and the accompaniment of Turkish students is an opportunity to convey the image of Iranian people's presence in the city squares, their hospitality and standing to the international community. This move can be effective in reflecting the crimes of America and the Zionist regime at the international level.

The Minister of Education expressed the hope that this popular movement can be a basis for strengthening solidarity between nations and conveying the message of the Iranian people to the public opinion of the world.

According to Ambassador Arjan, Alireza Kazemi also honored the memory of martyrs and angels of Minab who were unjustly martyred in a friendly meeting with peace ambassadors and school builders of Turkey and said: I welcome you on behalf of the education community. This very unique act, which was formed and started spontaneously, will be symbolic and instructive and will be recorded in history.

He added: This is the third presence of the Turkish people in Iran, the first convoy was a media convoy, and the consequence of this presence was the missiles that were fired at the enemy in the media space.

The Minister of Education continued: I thank the people and government of Türkiye who left such valuable scenes in different fields. You rode more than 1500 km and came here.

Kazemi said: "The field of sports is one of the most important fields that is not just sports. Sports always convey the message of peace, friendship, empathy and sympathy, and international competitions and the Olympics have been formed in this direction so that people from 5 continents can come together and practice friendship and kindness, and today we are happy that you are doing this."

He added: "I am happy that this caravan is sending the message of peace and friendship to the world in this long journey that it has traveled and will continue to travel."

The Minab disaster is a document of the oppression and righteousness of the Iranian people

The Minister of Education continued: The school and the atmosphere of science and learning is a safe place and no one should attack it, and definitely one of your most important messages is to condemn this crime in the history of mankind. The tragedy of Minab is one of the most painful tragedies of human society, which happened throughout history by the most brutal usurping governments, including the United States and the Zionist regime, and this is a document of the oppression and righteousness of the Iranian people.

Kazemi said: Criminal America thought that the people would be scared by this crime and they would be short in front of America, but it blindly read, we will stand until the last drop of blood and we will take revenge for the drops of blood of the martyrs. These oppressed martyrs themselves and their blood will take revenge, and the revenge we take is that when you express disgust, all the people hate this action of America and express disgust.

Kalang has built a complex in Minab by the Turkish people and is under construction

He added: With the efforts of the people and benefactors, including the large Turkish caravan, many schools have been built, and a complex has been built in Minab by the Turkish people and is under construction. This is the message of the standing of the Iranian nation against America.

The Minister of Education continued: No country in the world had this great power to stand up to two great powers and wear them down. I hope you will use the sport of peace and friendship during this trip and witness good scenes from the people.

Our people love Turkish people

Kazemi said: Our people love the Turkish people, we love the Turkish people for their standing, hospitality, sympathy with the Palestinian people and the oppressed people, and you are definitely the same when you bring more than a thousand letters to the Iranian people, which means you are the representative of the Iranian people. God willing, you will see the good and epic scenes of the people and the people's stand in different parts of the country, and you will see the scenes of the heinous crime of America, especially in Minab and Lamard, and use all the media capacities you have to convey this crime and stand to the nations of the world.

He said: I hope you return safely with your family and record a memorable and good trip.
