Possible dismissal of the Minister of Education
Some members of parliament and government news agencies have reported the possibility of dismissing Youssef Nouri, the Minister of Education. These reports mention the non-payment of salaries and arrears of teachers in the month of Esfand as the possible reason for this potential dismissal. However, a member of parliament has revealed that the Minister of Education was present in Karbala, Iraq for a pilgrimage trip during the crisis of unpaid salaries and attacks on girls’ schools in Esfand.
News related to the potential dismissal of Youssef Nouri from the position of Minister of Education gained strength, especially after Mohammad Mokhber, on the 9th of Farvardin, mentioned in a letter to Ebrahim Raisi the shortcoming and the Ministry of Education’s actions as the main reason for the problems of non-payment of teachers’ salaries in Esfand.
