HAIL TO THE IRANIAN
WOMEN'S REVOLUTIONISTS FALLEN FOR FREDOM
against
the supreme leader, the arch-reactionary Ayatollah Ali Khomeini,
and his placeman president. The message of
the women when the former president visited a university was plain: <give way or
get lost> in 2023 and still is.
IN MEMORY OF ASRA PANAHI (16)- JINA MAMINI (22) - NIKA SHAKARAMI (16), SARINA ESMAILZADEH (16) HADIS NAJAFI (20), AND MORE WOMEN WHO WERE ASSASINATED SO

The Hidden Catastrophe of Poverty and Inflation
NCRI - Womens committee - 26 Sept 2024 - in Articles, Women's News
<<Iranian Children and Education: The Hidden Catastrophe of Poverty and
Inflation
For most students around the world, the start of a new school year
brings a sense of renewal and excitement for learning. However, many
Iranian children are grappling with challenges that threaten their
future. Economists report that, for the first time in 75 years, Iran’s
impoverished population has doubled in just three years - an alarming
development unprecedented in the nation's planning history. (Jamaran
website - September 16, 2024)
Other sources have stated that 60% of Iran's population lives below the
poverty line. (Bahar News - September 13, 2024)
And these are merely the figures that have been allowed to leak into
government-controlled media. This means they should be considered the
minimum, as the reality surpasses the numbers officially announced. The
hardship inflicted on Iranian children by poverty and inflation is one
of the most devastating outcomes of the economic and social crises
caused by the mullahs' religious dictatorship in Iran. This has
particularly impacted education, resulting in a growing illiteracy rate
that experts warn poses a grave threat to Iran's future.
The High Prices of Uniforms, Textbooks, and Stationery
One of the primary reasons Iranian children are dropping out of school
is the overwhelming cost of education, which includes textbooks,
supplies, and school transportation. Many families simply cannot afford
these expenses, forcing them to withdraw their children from school. For
instance, the price of school uniforms has exceeded 540,000 tomans,
while a basic school bag costs at least 548,000 tomans. This is in stark
contrast to the average worker’s monthly income of around 7 million
tomans, making it impossible for many families to cover these costs.
Additionally, the average price of textbooks in the first three months
of the Iranian year 1403 (mid-March to mid-May 2024) reached 140,000
tomans, reflecting a 32% increase compared to the same period in the
spring of 1402. (Didbaniran.ir - July 30, 2024)
Inadequate Nutrition and Its Impact on Learning
Healthy and adequate nutrition is essential for every child to develop
effective learning abilities. However, many Iranian children are now
deprived of basic food items like meat, poultry, fruits, and other vital
protein sources. The absence of these nutrients in their daily diet
leads to physical and mental health issues, which in turn diminish their
learning capacity and harm their academic performance. (Rouydad24 -
December 13, 2023)
Hadi Mousavi Nik, the Director General of Social Welfare Studies at the
Ministry of Labor, stated that "57% of the population suffers from
malnutrition, with over 14.5 million of them being children. Of this
number, nearly 10 million are under the age of 12." (Ettela'at daily -
July 20, 2023)
Low Quality Educational Content
In addition to financial challenges, the quality of education in Iranian
schools has significantly deteriorated. Domestic experts have
highlighted that the average grade of Iranian students is just 11.5 out
of 20, indicating that many students are only studying with minimal
effort or achievement. (Shahrvand daily, January 1, 2023, and Borna news
agency, September 8, 2024) The lack of teachers, insufficient
facilities, and challenging learning conditions in remote and deprived
areas are among the other factors contributing to the education crisis
in Iran. Textbooks also face issues such as poor content and distortion.
The content of these books is mostly promotional and tailored to
maintain authority, greatly reducing students’ motivation to learn. In
the fall of 2021, a report was published by the Center for Educational
Quality Assessment and Monitoring of the Ministry of Education, which
was highly significant. The results of the Progress in International
Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) and the Trends in International
Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) indicate discouraging scores for
Iranian children in the fourth and eighth grades. Additionally, based on
these assessments, Iran ranks 50th and 48th out of 58 countries. (Etemad
Newspaper - April 30, 2023) PIRLS and TIMSS are international
assessments conducted approximately every five years in about 60
countries to measure academic progress in science and mathematics.
Dropping out of School Instead of Education and Hope
According to Article 30 of the Constitution under Iran's clerical
regime, the government is obligated to provide free educational
facilities for all citizens up to the end of secondary school and to
expand higher education opportunities to ensure national
self-sufficiency. However, the growing number of children dropping out
of school in Iran demonstrates a clear failure to uphold this
commitment. Government media reported that in the academic year
2022-2023, more than 1.2 million students dropped out of school. (Etemad
Daily - October 11, 2023) In the new year, government media reported the
non-registration of 790,000 students. (Asr-e Iran Daily - September 21,
2024) The dropout rate among students has risen at all levels of
education, closely correlating with the increase in poverty rates.
Approximately one-third of Iran's population is unable to meet their
basic needs. In these circumstances, even if education is technically
free, the additional costs can compel some families to prioritize
immediate financial survival over their children's education. (Etemad
Online - March 17, 2024)
The Grim Future Facing School Dropouts
Rising poverty in Iran under the clerical regime presents a substantial
barrier to the education of Iranian children. Many children who drop out
of school resort to hard labor, working as laborers, apprentices, or
garbage collectors. This not only jeopardizes their educational and
occupational prospects but also perpetuates the cycle of poverty and
deprivation within society. According to a report from the Welfare
Organization on child laborers in Iran, a significant number of street
vendors and flower sellers are children involved in activities such as
garbage collection and porterage. (Mehr News Agency - June 12, 2024)
Budget Cuts Threatening Education
Another critical issue is the reduction in the budget for the Ministry
of Education. Ideally, this budget should account for approximately 20%
of the country's overall budget, but it has fallen to less than 10%.
This decline reflects the authorities’ indifference toward the
challenges facing education and children in Iran, signaling a lack of
strategic planning to enhance the educational landscape. (IRNA - July
25, 2024)
A school in the underprivileged Sistan and Baluchistan province
Student Challenges in Underprivileged Areas
In deprived areas of Iran, many children study in tents, trailers, or
unsuitable environments, while luxurious schools are built for affluent
families in other parts of the country. This stark contrast in
educational conditions reflects a profound imbalance and injustice
within the Iranian educational system. Under the clerical regime, stone
schools, trailers, and tents have become all too common. According to
the Ministry of Education, this issue remains one of the longstanding
and unresolved dilemmas within the system, with approximately four
thousand stone schools existing across the country. (Tabnak Website -
February 14, 2021) In more deprived provinces of Iran, such as Sistan
and Baluchestan, Lorestan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Fars, and East
Azerbaijan, the prevalence of trailer schools is significantly higher
than in other regions. Abdollahi, the technical and supervisory deputy
of the school renovation organization, acknowledged that there are a
total of 1,073 trailer schools in the country. (Alef Website - March 20,
2024) The commute for students, particularly in villages and nomadic
areas, presents a serious and sometimes dangerous challenge due to
inadequate transportation infrastructure and unsafe roads. Students are
often forced to navigate difficult and perilous routes to access
education in neighboring villages.
An example of trailer schools
One of the major reasons female students in deprived and rural areas are
compelled to drop out of school is the daunting nature of these long and
challenging journeys to reach their schools. As the new academic year
begins in Iran, poverty and inflation have not only deprived Iranian
children of their basic rights to education and nutrition but have also
severely compromised their futures. This situation has led to rising
illiteracy rates, increased school dropout rates, and ultimately,
greater poverty and deprivation within society. While many children
around the world benefit from proper educational facilities, Iranian
children are struggling to survive in a crisis-ridden environment. Under
the clerical regime, even the education system has been decimated. The
only path forward for Iranian children lies in establishing a democratic
and popular government.>>
