Iranian academic year began on Saturday in a ceremony held at Shahid Modarres Vocational School in western Tehran, attended by President Hassan Rouhani, who rang the opening bell of the new learning season.
In Iran, first grade students started their school year with a nationwide ceremony referred to as the “festival of blossoms” on Wednesday. Traditionally, first graders begin classes sooner than the formal opening of the school year day to experience the new environment.
