Pointing to the children’s health and education as issues raised this week and last week in the government and the National Task Force for Fighting coronavirus, Rabiei stated: “Our nation and government are fighting a multi-dimension coronavirus issue.”

These two have influenced our policy and we need public compromise, greater understanding, and public cooperation to deal with these two strains of the virus.”
He added: “Today, hard-working teachers are at the forefront of this struggle, and the relationship between teachers and students and with parents and the government has entered a stage where we must experience education with these conditions this year.”
Pointing to the public concerns regarding the Iranian new school year, Rabiei emphasized: “The National Task Force for Fighting Coronavirus has considered all aspects of its decisions about schools, including the future of students, the need to move and receive better education, the practice of socialization, and the practice of using e-learning in childhood.”
He also noted: “With the appropriate decisions, the National Task Force for Fighting Coronavirus has addressed both education and educational justice, as well as public concerns”
“Another issue raised in the government about school and children was that no student should drop out of school,” Rabiei said, adding: “The President stressed that no Iranian should be deprived of education. In coordination with the Planning and Budget Organization, the Ministries of Welfare and Education were urged to follow up on the enrollment of children in primary school deprived of educating due to economic or cultural reasons or due to disability.”
He also noted that the ministries are urged to contact each and every family and talk so that no Iranian child would be deprived of school."
