10,000 Iranian teachers have taken the responsibility of educating more than half a million foreign students

 According to the Information and Public Relations Department of the Ministry of Education, Hakimzade said that more than 550,000 foreign students are currently studying in Iran, with 320,000 of them at an elementary level. If the density of each class is 30, then this number of students will need more than 10,000 teachers. While we did not have permission to add the teacher to the elementary school, and we did not receive any financial support from local and international sources to train this number of foreigners, but with the sacrifices of teachers and the measures taken, this number of foreign students, mostly from Afghanistan, were helped in our educational system.

 Hakimzadeh added that education is the right of all children, and in this regard we have worked hard to provide the children of foreign citizens who do not have identity papers; and we hope that one day Afghan students feel they are at home. According to a statistical survey of about 142,000 students were left behind in studying  for the current school year. Over the past four years, we have absorbed 143,000 students , and last year, 30,000 and 800,000 students were helped who were previously left behind in their studies.
