Iran says 775 war-damaged schools repaired Iran’s Education Minister Alireza Kazemi said more than half of the schools damaged during attacks have been repaired, with 775 of 1,300 facilities restored, according to IRNA. He said around 20 schools were destroyed, with the worst damage reported in Tehran Province, Kermanshah Province, Isfahan Province and Hormozgan Province.
Kazemi said repairs to the most heavily damaged schools are expected to be completed by October, adding that education continued throughout the conflict through in-person and remote learning, including via state television. He also said counselling was provided and commemorations were held for victims of a missile strike on a girls’ school in Minab.
