Teachers in more than a dozen cities and towns across Iran, including Tehran, have been staging sit-ins at schools the past two days instead of teaching to protest low wages, according to news reports and social-media posts cited by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
The Coordinating Council of Teachers Syndicates in Iran said the two-day strike was launched to protest “unfair wages,” “degradation of education quality,” “inflation,” and “the continuation of the arrest of [teachers rights] activists.”
