Contexte culturel
Teachers are celebrated on 'Teacher's Day' (May 2nd), commemorating Morteza Motahhari. Students often bring flowers and gifts to those who 'dars midahand'. In Dari Persian, 'درس دادن' is also the standard term. Education is highly valued as a way to rebuild the nation. Tajik Persian uses the same phrase, though often written in Cyrillic (дарс додан). In mystical Persian literature, the 'Pir' (elder) gives a 'dars' of the heart, which is more about spiritual transmission than academic facts.

Ta'arof and Teaching
