School Closure
The closure of schools has sparked criticism among parents of school-going children, many of whom believe the decision is unnecessary and could negatively affect students’ education. They argue that frequent disruptions to the academic calendar are already causing challenges for students.
Several parents questioned the rationale behind the move, stating that even Iran, which is directly affected by the ongoing conflict in the region, has kept its educational institutions open.
Parents say the government’s decision to suspend classes nationwide is difficult to understand and should be reconsidered to avoid further disruption to the education system. They stressed that maintaining continuity in education is essential for students’ academic progress.
The school closure was announced as part of broader measures aimed at managing the potential energy crisis and rising fuel costs caused by regional instability.
