Iran moves exam centers amid US airstrikes

In the wake of the ongoing war with the United States, Iran’s Education Ministry has announced the relocation of all educational exam centers located near sensitive and military installations in the country to safer and more remote locations.
To ensure maximum security for test takers, these centers have been moved to various public halls and religious places of worship. The news of this special protective measure in Tehran was published today (July 15) amid the ongoing tense situation in the Persian Gulf.
The country’s state-run Fars News Agency quoted the Iranian Education Ministry as saying that exam centers located in areas adjacent to various army camps or other sensitive military installations have been urgently evacuated to avoid damage and risk from possible US airstrikes.
Ministry policymakers said the decision was taken to ensure the safety of students and allow them to take the exams in a calm and psychologically stable environment.
According to the new decision, these exams will now be held in large public halls in the city and in safe places such as local religious centers or places of worship. This will try to protect candidates from the risk of possible military attacks, bombings or any other undesirable events.
