Iran bans the teaching of English in primary schools, official says
"Teaching English in government and non-government primary schools in the official curriculum is against laws and regulations."
Iran has banned the teaching of English in primary schools, a senior education official has said, after Islamic leaders warned that early learning of the language opened the way to a western “cultural invasion”, Guardian reports.
“Teaching English in government and non-government primary schools in the official curriculum is against laws and regulations,” Mehdi Navid-Adham, head of the state-run high education council, told state television.
“The assumption is that in primary education the groundwork for the Iranian culture of the students is laid,” he said.
