English in primary schools.</span> <span data-start-time='7604' data-end-time='19604'>Mehdi Navid-Adham, chief of Iran’s High Education Council, informed state television of the ban last Saturday.</span> <span data-start-time='19604' data-end-time='31729'>The move came after Islamic leaders warned that early learning of the English language has led to a Western “cultural invasion”.</span> <span data-start-time='31729' data-end-time='44000'>“Teaching English in government and non-government primary schools in the official curriculum is against laws and regulations,” Navid-Adham said.</span> <span data-start-time='44000' data-end-time='50896'>He added that the government may also stop non-curriculum English classes.</span> <span data-start-time='50896' data-end-time='61875'>The reasoning, Navid-Adham said, is that the groundwork, or basis, of Iranian culture should be taught to young children.</span> <span data-start-time='61875' data-end-time='73667'>In Iran, English language training is usually offered in middle school, to students from 12 to 14 years of age.</span> <span data-start-time='73667' data-end-time='82813'>However, in some primary schools, students may begin taking English classes at younger ages.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div
