At the start of the new academic year in Iran, educational authorities have introduced several initiatives centered on the legacy of martyrs.

In Alborz province, a national plan called ‘Martyr Ambassadors’ has been launched, allowing educators to select specific martyrs to serve as lifestyle and behavioral role models for students. In Tehran, the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs has implemented programs such as the ‘Bell of Sacrifice’ ceremony to promote a culture of sacrifice through memorials and new educational themes.

In Kerman province, officials from the Martyrs Foundation and the Education Department have expanded these efforts by pledging specific support for the children of martyrs. This initiative focuses on removing educational barriers and providing resources to monitor the academic and motivational progress of these students.
