A Focus on Educator Livelihoods
In a significant move concerning the welfare of its educational workforce, a campaign highlighting the economic situation of teachers has been initiated. The campaign, which began on October 29, 2025, and is set to continue until April 28, 2026, aims to constructively engage with relevant authorities on matters pertaining to educator livelihoods. The initiative is being coordinated through a formal signature-gathering platform under the official hashtag #TeacherSalaryIncrease.
Understanding the Current Economic Landscape
Participants in the campaign have provided insights into the economic realities facing educators. While acknowledging the implementation of the ranking law, they point to ongoing challenges in managing living costs. It is reported that an average monthly salary is often sufficient only for the first ten days of the month, making daily commuting and routine expenses a significant concern for many within the teaching community.
This situation has led some educators to seek supplementary income through secondary employment. Campaign organizers have expressed that such measures, while undertaken out of necessity, are not commensurate with the dignified status of educators within the Islamic Republic. The economic pressures are also cited as impacting life milestones for younger teachers, such as marriage and starting a family, while veteran teachers face difficulties in managing household expenses.
Safeguarding the Future of Education
The organizers have emphasized the broader implications for the national education system if these economic challenges persist. They warn that prolonged strain could lead to burnout among teachers and diminish their motivation for professional development, potentially causing long-term, irreparable damage to the standing of schools and the teaching profession.
In an official statement, the campaign has respectfully called upon the President and other relevant officials to issue the necessary directives for a serious and urgent resolution to the livelihood concerns of teachers. The overarching goal is to improve conditions, thereby ensuring the continued, high-quality education of the nation’s future generations and the sustained strength of the educational system.
