Hrana News Agency – The Deputy Director of Primary Education at the General Directorate of Education and Training in Yazd Province reported that approximately 1,500 students in the province have dropped out of school, stating that these students withdrew from education due to financial needs, lack of educational conditions, entry into the labor market, and cultural poverty within families.
According to Hrana News Agency, citing Tabnack News Agency, 1,500 students in Yazd Province have dropped out of school due to poor economic conditions and poverty.
Sayedeh Bahaderzadeh stated: “Based on collected information, approximately 1,500 students in Yazd Province have dropped out of education due to financial needs, lack of conditions, family cultural poverty, or entry into the labor market.”

The Deputy Director of Primary Education at the General Directorate of Education and Training in the province, referring to the academic decline of students, cited the lack of face-to-face interaction between teachers and students as one of the main reasons for this decline, emphasizing: “The failure to convey emotions and establish human and interpersonal interactions has resulted in academic decline among students, and this decline is more evident in the first and second grades.”
The Deputy Director of Primary Education at the General Directorate of Education and Training in the province stressed: “Academic decline is not only limited to student repetition and failure, but occurs when a student’s learning and abilities fall short of expectations. The prevalence of coronavirus has made this concept and damage more prominent in the field of virtual education and training in society.”
He concluded by noting: “Making classes in-person while following health protocols and vaccinating students, parents, and teachers can be an effective step in compensating for students’ academic decline.”
