In the years before the revolution, most of the female students did not wear the hijab, but they were very dignified.

Axar.az reports, citing "Azad Iran", that these words were uttered by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian while talking about the pre-revolutionary university environment during his visit to Gazvin province.

He said that at that time, most of the female students did not wear the hijab, but despite this, they were distinguished by their dignity and exemplary behavior.

"None of the girls could behave differently. At that time, no one could say a word or disrespect them," the president emphasized.

This statement by the Iranian president sparked a wide debate in the country. Many appreciated the positive aspects of student life and behavior during the period mentioned by Pezeshkian, while others shared their opinions in comparison with the modern situation.
