Alireza Kazemi, the Minister of Education, announced that the schools in Iran have been closed for a total of 550 days since the corona epidemic, and announced the approval of a decision by the government committee, according to which any closing of schools in the country will not be possible without the direct approval of this ministry. According to Tajart News, this figure is published while the annual average of school holidays in Iran is estimated to be around 125 days, which is at a much higher level compared to countries like Japan with 80 days and Canada with 90 days. Referring to the results of the international TIMS test, which indicate a significant drop in the fourth grade math score from 443 to 420 and a drop in the eighth grade science score from 449 to 419, education experts warned that the continued breakdown of regular communication between teachers and students will cause serious damage to the quality of learning and academic motivation.
