The regime’s Tejarat News website reported a 17% increase in school dropouts in the previous academic year compared to the 2015-2016 academic year. Tejarat News, citing the regime’s Majlis (parliament) Research Center, wrote that over 911,000 individuals dropped out of school in the past academic year.
The report emphasized that more than 279,000 individuals also discontinued their education during this period.
The report reads in part that more than 279,000 individuals also dropped out of school during this time period.
These statistics were released at a time when, according to published statistics from the Statistical Center of Iran, nearly 930,000 students dropped out of elementary, middle, and high schools during the academic year.
Based on these figures, more than 175,000 elementary school students, 198,000 middle school students, and 557,000 high school students have discontinued their education.
The Statistical Center of the Iranian regime had also announced in October 2023 that at least “556,000 young Iranians” are forced to drop out of school” before entering high school due to reasons primarily related to “poverty and deprivation.”
A review of inflation statistics shows that inflation in Iran was around 10% in 2016 and 2017, but it rose to over 27% in 2018.
In 2019, inflation reached 35%, and in 2020 it exceeded 36%. In 2021, inflation surpassed the 46% mark, and in 2022, the country’s inflation rate remained above 46%.
These statistics are derived from official reports of the Iranian regime. The Iranian regime has a long history of manipulating statistics, and the actual figures are much higher.
