The representative of the United Nations Children�s Fund in Iran, Ezio Gianni Murzi, has hailed the country�s Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare for its fight against different forms of child poverty.

He viewed cooperation between his organization and the Iranian government as effective and said: �To clear the hurdles in the way of children�s education and implement timely interventions, the reasons why they are kept out of school should be detected first,� adding that the move needs close collaboration between the two ministries of education and labor.

�UNICEF is ready to help other nations take a leaf out of Iran�s book, given the country�s considerable achievements in improving children�s welfare,� he added.
