Iran, Jane 3, 2019 – A group of kindergarten teachers rallied on Monday in different cities across Khuzestan Province, southwest Iran, protesting regime officials’ refusal to upgrade their job status from part-time to full-time contracts. They have been working on part-time contracts since 2013 and are demanding changes be made to their job status immediately.
The protesting teachers were seen rallying outside the Khuzestan governor’s office in Ahvaz.
“We have held two protest rallies in the past two weeks, asking why the teachers – most with many years of experience – have not received full-time contracts. Unfortunately, no official is willing to provide us with any answers,” one protesting teacher said.
“We are demanding that our job status be revised and we will continue our protests until officials respond to our demands,” a protesting teacher said.
