Constitutional Council approves bill to address teachers’ salary demands

The Constitutional Council, also known as the Guardian Council, has approved the Teachers Ranking Bill aimed at adjusting the salaries of teachers in Iran.

The legislation of the rating system, which was faced with faults and ambiguities during the Council’s previous sessions, was reviewed in an extraordinary meeting of the body and members did not find it in contradiction with the Islamic law and Constitution, Hadi Tahan-Nazif, the spokesman of the Council, announced in a post published recently on his Twitter account.

He further expressed hope that the enactment of the law would help improve the quality of education across Iran and address the problems teachers grappling with.

The Guardian Council’s objections to the teacher rating bill were met for a second time by the Parliamentary Education Commission and approved by parliament last week.
