Iranians Unity School in Badkouba

During Mozaffar A1 Din Shah’s tenure, significant developments came about in Iran, in­cluding inauguration of Modem Schools. Accordingly, beyond Iran ’s borders, Modem Schools were also opened by Iranians, and “Iranians Unity School” in “Badkouba” was one of them. They were set up by some Iranian diplomats and intellectuals who wanted to see Iran to improve and progress. There were serious discussions before Caucasus authorities allowed Iranians to establish Unity School in “Badkouba”, The school was struggling to tackle its financial bottlenecks right after its establishment until it was ceased to exist. During Caucasus revolts and after tsars’ collapse, the problems intensified. As Azerbaijan struggled to become an autonomous republic, British forces occupied the school, and after that the government refused to mm back the building to Iranians. But, soon after Bolshevism Move­ment in Azerbaijan, the school was returned to Iranians; however the then government took the activities of such schools as anti-revolutionary and forced it to shut off.
