Iran’s Education Ministry spokesman Ali Farhadi announced Sunday that all educational facilities across the country will remain closed until further notice. To ease concerns among students and parents, Farhadi assured that all exams planned at every educational level will be delayed. He added that new exam dates will be set later, and any exam entry documents rendered invalid will be reissued.
