About 50 per cent of girl students do not go to high school in the border provinces of Iran. Rezvan Hakimzadeh, the Education Ministry’s deputy for elementary schools, said, “In many border provinces, high schools cover only 50 per cent of girls in high school level. This means that between 40 to 50 per cent of girl students remain out of school.”“This is shocking,” Hakimzadeh said, adding, “Possibly, the reason for some of them quitting school is early marriage.” (The state-run ILNA news agency – September 9, 2017)
