Iran’s recent Education Ministry policy changes have raised alarms over the education of undocumented children, particularly in Sistan and Baluchestan, where schools now deny enrollment to those without birth certificates. This shift contradicts a 2017 decree allowing temporary identity declarations. The restrictions have removed hundreds of previously enrolled students and jeopardize the education of around 40,000 children. Many of these undocumented individuals, often from impoverished backgrounds, face exclusion from basic rights, exacerbating educational inequality. Experts warn such denial of education poses significant social risks, heightening psychological harm and potential criminal exploitation, threatening social stability in the region.
