As military tensions between Israel and Iran continue to escalate, both countries have announced measures impacting their education systems and civil life, including the closure of schools and postponement of exams.

In Iran, all educational institutions have been shut down until further notice, the country’s Education Ministry spokesman Ali Farhadi said Sunday. To reassure students and families, Farhadi noted that all scheduled exams across educational levels would be postponed. New exam dates will be announced later, and any invalidated exam entry documents will be reissued.

Meanwhile, Israel has extended its state of emergency and internal restrictions until June 30, citing ongoing security concerns. The decision was approved during an online government session, according to Israel’s Yediot Ahronot newspaper.

The Israeli Education Ministry also confirmed that all learning activities will continue remotely, with in-person exams canceled for the foreseeable future. (Anadolu Agency)
