Iranian schools are set to reopen Sunday, local media reports, following a one-week closure as the country was gripped by mass anti-government protests.
“Schools in Tehran and other cities which were announced closed since January 10 will be resumed from tomorrow,” the ISNA news agency says, adding that university exams that had been postponed will be held on January 24.
