The school, which is the first of its kind in Iran, has been established for school-aged children who have to work to earn money for their families.
Sobh-e Rooyesh started activity in 2014 at Harandi neighborhood, downtown Tehran, and now over 450 boys and girls are studying at the school in different grades.
The school holds some workshops to teach different social skills to the students on the sidelines of its educational program.
According to a study conducted by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), children from poor households and from households without a formally educated household head are more likely to be engaged in child labor and less likely to attend school than members of rich households and children living with an educated household head.
