Iran Bans English in Primary Schools - Reports

[Enigma_]

Stupid move. I agree with removing it from being an official language like Pakistan did but it is still the lingua franca of the world.

Lest take a look at Iran's relationship with English speaking countries :

USA , Travel ban
UK and Canada minimum diplomatic relationships and tourism ( UK and Canadian citizens need to have a guide inside Iran , I think there is a similar behavior towards Iranians from these countries)
Australia there is no bad blood between us ( not now ! ) .

As a English speaking person you will find it very very hard to find a tiny city or village inside Iran without a English speaking Iranian . so that's the main reason a English speaking tourist feels Iran like home ( majority of them feel this way ) . so with minimum relationship with major English speaking countries there is a little benefit to keep the current education system about languages .

Also I would call it racism policy towards other people and races .

Still do you think its stupid move to reduce time of English teaching lessons in schools ? If yes tell me why thanks

English isn't just the language of the countries you've mentioned but it is the lingua franca of the world. If this move is just to spite the US, UK and such then it is a very short sighted move. Learning about other cultures and traditions will help Iran to challenge them better too, besides banning their language and art serves no purpose but it will create more division between the countries. In all honesty, apart from government to government hate of the two countries you'll find most westerners don't have a problem with the common Iranian. Your experience might be different however. All I am saying is, apart from spite, this move serves no benefit to Iran or its populace. This is my opinion.

There is nothing about banning English language. at best/worst case scenario this move will only reduce English teaching classes one year from only primary school. after that there are English language classes in middle schools and there are English classes in high schools before someone enters college .

Primary school/1-6th grade no English ( recently planed to remove English language from 6th grade )
Middle School/7-9th grade English and Arabic language classes starts
High School/10-12th grade more advanced English and Arabic language classes

Without passing these English and Arabic language as a student , you can't enter college .

We planted the tree decades ago and now we picking it's fruits .

We as a nation had so many wars with a lot of foreign countries , and thousand years relationships with biggest empires of entire earth ( so many ups and downs ) but me personally have never seen in our history any world leader talk to my people like this wasted human .

That's what we planted .
