Alireza Kazemi, the Minister of Education, in his recent meeting on protecting education against potential attacks from the United States and the Zionist regime, stressed the importance of obtaining permission for school closures during wartime. He stated that schools should never be closed without the permission of the Minister of Education.
Background of Decision-Making
These remarks were made while Kazemi presented a report on the consequences of school closures during wartime. He emphasized that education must remain active as a vital institution even in wartime, and its closure could have serious repercussions for the future of students.
Defining New Frameworks
The Minister of Education announced that a resolution has been passed that defines new frameworks for school closures. This resolution is designed in such a way that education cannot take action to close schools without the Minister's permission. Kazemi also added that the first part of this resolution is dedicated to managing education in wartime conditions.
Dr. Momeni has also communicated this directive to all governors of the country so that all educational institutions are aware of actions that require school closures during critical times.
Implementation Consequences
Given the current conditions and international tensions, it is necessary for families and educational institutions to prepare in advance for potential crisis situations. Kazemi advised the public to prepare essential supplies for wartime so that they can respond quickly to critical situations in case of problems.
The Minister of Education also referred to the educational and psychological impacts of school closures during wartime, stating: "School closures not only harm learning but also have negative effects on the morale and mental health of students. We must strive to ensure that education continues under all circumstances, and students do not miss out on knowledge and learning."
In conclusion, Kazemi emphasized that the responsibility for maintaining the physical and mental health of students lies with all relevant institutions, and any unnecessary closures must be avoided.
