Iran prepares grounds for Afghan refugees' education

'The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) aims to facilitate all people access to education,' Ahmad Jalali said in the 39th Session of the UNESCO General Conference which is underway in Paris.

Referring to 2.5 million Afghan refugees in Iran, he said the country has managed to mainstream over 900,000 Afghan children in Iran's educational system and to realize UNESCO goals.

Jalali called for reinforcing multilateralism to take advantage of UNESCO members' potential and humanitarian achievements.

During the biennial UNESCO Conference which is underway with the attendance of officials from over 195 countries, cultural, educational and knowledge fields are being discussed.
