One month into the new school year, Iran is still facing a critical shortage of teachers while 10,000 classrooms remain without instructors.

On Wednesday, the Fararu website conducted an in-depth examination of the alarming crisis, shedding light on the repeated inconsistencies in promises made by the education minister and the lack of a precise plan to address the ministry's issues under the leadership of Reza-Morad Sahraei.

According to recent statements from regime officials, there is a shortfall of around 250,000 to 300,000 teachers, affecting roughly 16 million students across all grade levels. In the province of Tehran alone, the shortage of teachers is estimated to be around 4,000.

Sistan and Baluchestan province, classified as one of the most underprivileged areas in terms of education, requires an urgent influx of 15,000 teachers.

Fararu has reported that the concerning statistics have prompted 30 members of parliament to sign a motion seeking the impeachment of Sahraei. However, the motion has yet to proceed to the implementation stage.

According to the report, the current issues plaguing education and training are partly attributed to the widespread retirement of teachers in previous years and the government's discontinuation of teacher recruitment efforts.
