Iran: Catastrophe in Clerical Regime's Education System

October 25, 2025 - 02:11

Iran is grappling with a severe crisis in its education system, as alarming statistics reveal that 43% of the country's 16.5 million students are suffering from depression. This mental health crisis is exacerbated by the dismal job market, where 40% of graduates find themselves unemployed after completing their studies. The situation has led to tragic incidents, with reports of students losing their lives while sitting on school benches, highlighting the urgent need for reform.

The high tuition fees, which can reach up to 200 units, further burden families and contribute to the growing discontent among the youth. As economic challenges intensify, many students are left feeling hopeless about their futures. The combination of mental health issues and a lack of job opportunities creates a perfect storm, threatening the well-being of an entire generation. The Iranian government faces mounting pressure to address these critical issues and implement necessary changes to revive the education system and support its youth.
