Evidence snapshot for Tehran
Iran Digital — National Free AI and Programming Curriculum Reaches 2 Million Students reports that 40,000 teachers were trained in Tehran through in-person and virtual courses as part of the Ministry of Education's free AI and programming initiative launched in June 2025. The practice also notes that 100 advanced instructors completed expert training in Tehran to extend the programme into other provinces, with plans to train a further 200,000 teachers within four months. However, all figures are self-reported by the Ministry of Education through state-affiliated media with no independent audit or third-party verification published.
