IRAN: NO DISTANCE TOO FAR TO GET TO SCHOOL
Do I take the bus or will Mum drive me to school? That’s a choice the children from the mountains near Talesh, Iran, haven’t even heard of. Here, in Iran’s Gilan province, they often have to take rather adventurous paths instead, walking for hours to get to tiny school buildings with classrooms the size of a chicken coop and the height of a mining tunnel. Or even just a piece of ground somewhere in a forest.
Iranian photographer Mohammad Golchin tells the story of schools and teachers that won’t give up on a single student. And of boys and girls for whom it is a great adventure to learn and understand letters and numbers, and who are not among the almost 60 million children worldwide who, according to UNICEF estimates, are not allowed to go to school at all.
