Iran Shifts Some School Classes Online Amid Protests

Iranian education authorities announced on Friday that schools in several provinces will remain closed and move to online classes until next week, as ongoing protests continue and the government enforces extensive internet restrictions.

Provincial education departments, including those in East Azarbaijan and Tehran, confirmed that in-person classes will be suspended and replaced with virtual learning, The Caspian Post reports, citing Iran International.

The move comes amid widespread internet and phone outages, which have disrupted daily life and communications across large areas of the country.
