The Student Name Badge Case: Where Did Follow-ups Lead?

Education Minister denies requiring students to wear name badges in classrooms, though documentation for the claim remains unclear.

The Minister of Education denied the claim of requiring students to use name plates in classrooms; While there is ambiguity about the documentation of this claim.

Sefir Arjan - Social Group: The story of students getting license plates was accompanied by the denial of the Minister of Education and uncertainty about the documentation of the claim.

In recent days, the publication of materials in cyberspace about requiring students to use nameplates in classrooms caused a wave of concern and reactions among users, a claim that the Minister of Education denied.

Alireza Kazemi, Minister of Education, denied the rumor that students are required to attend classrooms with name plates, and considered this claim to be a part of psychological operations and media creation against the country's education system.

But where and by whom did this claim begin?

Investigations in cyberspace show that this claim was first made by a woman who introduced herself as a basic lawyer working in Tehran province.

This lawyer published a post on his personal page on Instagram, without providing any document about this claim, announcing the students' license plates.

While Mrs. Vakil claims that this action against the students is a concern of the public mind, that this action itself without providing any proof or documentation of the alleged incident, was quickly published in the cyberspace and caused the anxiety and worry of many students' families; To the extent that the Minister of Education personally denied this claim and said that Education had no action or plan in this regard.

Ms. Vakil considers this alleged action to be a cause of concern to the public mind that, assuming it is true, this incident happened only in her targeted school, but by exaggerating and creating ambiguity about the geographical scope and the number of schools that have done this, she caused anxiety and worry to the students' families across the country.

In order to clarify this matter, the reporter tried to talk to the lawyer in question to receive his alleged documents, but after several calls, the lawyer refused to answer on the pretext of not verifying the reporter's identity and announced that he should talk in person at his lawyer's office.

The reporter went to the address of Ms. Vakil's office on the website of the Lawyers Association, but after several phone calls, this time someone other than Ms. Vakil announced that Ms. Vakil is in her other office in East Tehran and will receive you there.

In subsequent calls, Ms. Vakil simply insisted on her claim and again refused to provide a document about her controversial claim and announced that if you come to my office in less than an hour, we can discuss this matter.

We have to wait and see if Mrs. Vakil will present a document during the possible follow-up of the Ministry of Education from the judicial authority about this claim or not.

The Minister of Education, in response to the rumors about changing the activities of schools and requiring students to use a name plate for identification, emphasized the continuation of education and dealing with fake news.

Referring to the spread of rumors and deception in the media, the Minister of Education said: Dealing with cognitive and hybrid warfare should be on the agenda of education and schools.

In a message on the occasion of the beginning of the academic year of schools and universities, the Leader of the Revolution emphasized the role of the young generation in the future of Iran while honoring the memory of martyred students, students, teachers and professors and asked them to turn schools and universities into the center of the country's progress by acquiring knowledge, piety, morals and skills.
