A new model for the potential closure of schools in Iran has been announced, focusing on the conditions of each region separately. According to this model, the Minister of Education will make necessary decisions regarding the reopening of schools based on the security and health status of each area. This approach, which specifically emphasizes the safety of students and educational staff, could lead to significant changes in the way in-person education is conducted in the upcoming academic year.
Conditions for Prioritizing In-Person Education
The Minister of Education stated that in areas where there are no threats to students and educational staff, in-person education will be prioritized. This means that schools in these areas can continue their educational activities in person while adhering to health protocols. In fact, this model aims to create a safe and constructive environment for student learning.

Using a Hybrid Model in Areas with Security Threats
In areas facing security threats, the Ministry of Education will use a hybrid model. This model includes utilizing safe spaces to establish in-person communication between students and teachers. Thus, even in adverse conditions, the possibility of continuous education and learning is provided. This approach is particularly important in border provinces and areas facing greater security challenges.
Decisions regarding the operation of schools will be made jointly with the participation of governors and security councils. This collaboration allows local officials to make the best decisions to ensure the safety and quality of education for students, considering the specific conditions of each area. According to the Minister of Education, this model will be officially communicated nationwide after finalization in the coming days.
In this context, it is expected that families and students will be informed about the new conditions and will make necessary plans based on their regional situation. This action will not only help improve the quality of education but will also lead to increased confidence among families and students.
