Speaking in a local ceremony, Irina Cornici said that the UN Refugee Agency is thankful for the Leader of Islamic Revolution's order that provides Afghan refugees' access to knowledge and education in Iranian schools, IRNA reported.
Iran has for years been hosting over three million Afghan immigrants despite the West's sanctions, and tries to improve the living conditions of these war-stricken refugees.
More than 350,000 Afghan refugee children are currently attending school in Iran. And in the last year, thanks to a decree from Iran’s Leader, 48,000 undocumented Afghan children were permitted to enroll for the first time in public schools.
