Iran's costliest school year amid war
The cost of studying in Iran has increased significantly this year due to the deterioration of the Iranian rial's exchange rate and the prices of essential goods. This has placed a greater financial burden on families, leading to a rise in the prices of school supplies and supplementary books by up to 700% over the past two years. This inflation has turned some necessities into luxury items, further straining families' educational expenses. As a result, there is a threat of an educational and social gap emerging due to reduced affordability, potentially causing students to drop out or fall behind in participation and understanding. This situation calls for government intervention to maintain the quality of free and sustainable education.
