Some 100,000 disadvantaged Iranian school children are deprived of education

At least 96,000 school-aged children in the impoverished province of Sistan and Baluchistan, western Iran are deprived of education, according to the local director of the Iran’s Education ministry.
In a May 19 interview with the state-run daily Shahrvand, Zahra Borhan-Zehi said: “About 13,000 of these kids do not have an identification card and are just immigrants. Among those who do not have ID cards are an increasing number of Iranian children whose fathers are foreigners.”
She added: “The state of education in this province is significantly different from the national average. There is no difference between the Sistani students and the children of immigrants.”
