The "Hamgam" Quranic Plan is being implemented for 3.2 million secondary school students, IRNA quoted an Education Ministry official as saying.
Mohammad Taqi Rahimi said the plan, which started two years ago, was first implemented in a few schools but now over 3 million students benefit from it.
Based on the plan, all teachers start their classes by reciting a verse of the Quran and giving the translation and some explanations, he said, adding that it would take some 3 minutes of the class time.
According to Mr. Rahimi the plan aims to foster acquaintance with the Quran, improve students’ Quran reading skills and help them better understand the verses of the Holy Book.
He said much effort is made for promoting Quranic teachings but more should be done to enter the teachings of the Holy Book in people’s lives. “in order for this to happen, we should understand the Quran and act upon it.”
