A new round of protests by current and retired Iranian teachers started on the new school year in mid-September in at least 30 cities. One of their main demands is the ratification of the \u201cTeacher Ranking\u201d bill. The bill, proposed 10 years ago, would allow for teachers\u2019 wages to be 80% of those of university professors. The government says it doesn\u2019t have the funding, saying it would only raise their salaries by 20-25%. The protesters also want the regime to stop the prosecution of teacher activists and to release detained teachers. Recent reports of the suicide of three teachers in the southwestern province of Fars, the northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi, and the central province of Isfahan due to poverty have also shed light on the plight of Iranian teachers.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As teachers around the globe mark World Teachers\u2019 Day 2021, Iranian teachers are struggling to make ends meet.\u00a0They have been protesting for years for higher pay despite the regime\u2019s suppression.
