Completion of Incomplete Schools
The Ministry of Oil also pays special attention to the completion of incomplete schools. Babak Darabi, the manager of oversight on construction projects in oil-producing regions, has announced that this management has 2,190 schools on its agenda with a budget equivalent to over seven trillion tomans. In this regard, 1,087 projects have been completed and another 1,103 projects are underway with a budget equivalent to five trillion tomans. According to Darabi, completing schools that have remained unfinished due to a lack of financial resources can create more added value.
Support for Empowering Teachers and Students
The Ministry of Oil's social responsibility extends beyond the development of physical school infrastructure. This ministry also has programs for empowering managers, teachers, and students in certain provinces. Based on the designed educational model, teachers in target provinces have been identified and trained to take on the responsibility of training other teachers after acquiring the necessary competencies.
These actions aim to support underprivileged areas and provide equal educational opportunities for students, demonstrating the Ministry of Oil's commitment to social responsibility and sustainable development in the country.
