In the shadow of poverty and deprivation; 1,500 students drop out of school in Yazd province
HRANA News Agency – The Deputy Director of Primary Education of the General Directorate of Education of Yazd Province announced that approximately 1,500 students in this province have dropped out of school, stating that these students dropped out of school due to financial needs, lack of educational conditions, entry into the job market, and the cultural poverty of their families.
According to the HRANA news agency, quoting Tabnak news agency, 1,500 students in Yazd province have dropped out of school due to poor economic conditions and poverty.
Saeideh Bahadorzadeh stated: According to statistics, about 1,500 students in Yazd province have dropped out of school due to financial needs, lack of family conditions, cultural poverty, or entering the labor market.
He added: "There are still 434 students who have not returned to school. They are being identified by colleagues, and we hope that with the efforts of their families, they will return to school."
Referring to the academic decline of students, the Deputy Director of Primary Education of the Provincial Education Department stated that one of the main reasons for this academic decline is the lack of face-to-face communication between teachers and students, and stated: "The lack of transferring emotions and establishing human and interpersonal interactions has led to us witnessing an academic decline among students, and this decline is more evident in the first and second grades."
The Deputy Director of Primary Education of the Provincial Directorate of Education noted: Academic failure does not only include students' re-examination and failure, but also when a student's learning and ability are less than expected, academic failure occurs, and the spread of the coronavirus has further highlighted this concept and damage in the field of virtual education in society.
He concluded by noting: "In-person classes, while adhering to health guidelines and vaccinating students, parents, and teachers, can be an effective step to compensate for students' academic decline."
