Ideological Screening in Teacher Recruitment
NCRI - Womens committee - 10 Nov 2024 in Articles, Women's News
<<Ideological Screening in Teacher Recruitment: Medieval Constraints in
Iran's Education System
Iran's education system, overseen by the Ministry of Education under the
clerical regime, faces an acute teacher shortage while also imposing
strict, ideologically driven requirements on teacher candidates. Reports
highlight the Iranian regime's medieval-style selection criteria, which
exclude candidates based on lifestyle choices, social media activity,
and ideological compliance rather than educational qualifications. As a
result, many qualified individuals are barred from teaching roles,
exacerbating the staffing crisis in public schools, where over 85% of
Iran's students are educated. This report provides an overview of these
restrictive practices and their impact on Iran's educational landscape.
Ideological Screening of Candidates
On October 27, 2024, student teachers and prospective employees
protested the Education Ministry's recruitment process, alleging
discrimination and invasive questioning. Candidates reported that
screening went beyond professional assessments, instead delving into
personal and ideological aspects of their lives. Many were disqualified
for actions considered inappropriate under the regime's standards, such
as reading philosophy books, wearing nail polish, sporting mustaches, or
failing to attend regime-sanctioned gatherings like Friday prayers.
Other criteria for disqualification included personal social media
activity, with candidates disqualified for <liking> certain posts. For
women, failing to wear the traditional chador during exams or allowing
hair to show under a scarf was enough to exclude them from
consideration. Male candidates were reportedly judged for physical
appearance, such as having tattoos or unconventional hairstyles, grouped
under the infamous <Code 19,> a category within the Ministry's
guidelines targeting behaviors and appearances that deviate from regime
expectations.
Historic Hardline Practices
This extreme vetting harks back to practices from the 1980s, as noted by
Mohammad Heydari Varjani, a former official in the Islamic Student
Association at Tehran's Farhangian University, which trains future
teachers. He emphasized that the level of ideological scrutiny in
education recruitment has intensified in recent years. Yet, despite
these practices, the current Minister of Education has remained silent
on the controversy.
The enforcement of such policies has coincided with a national teacher
shortage that has left Iranian schools with a deficit of over 176,000
educators. The regime’s exclusionary criteria, combined with widespread
ideological disqualifications, aggravate this shortage, as politically
targeted disqualifications remove a substantial number of potential
teachers.
Broader Impacts on Iran's Education System
The nationwide shortage of qualified teachers is further compounded by
economic challenges and the regime's antagonistic approach toward
education professionals. According to the spokesperson for Iran's
Coordinating Council of Teacher Associations, between 2022 and 2023, at
least 80 teachers were forced out of the education system, either
through dismissals or coerced retirements. Teacher unions argue that
this exodus of experienced educators is detrimental to the quality of
education. Teacher salaries in Iran remain insufficient, averaging
around 16 million tomans per month (approximately $320), a meager income
compared to inflation and living costs in the country. In response to
rising discontent, the administration of former regime President Ebrahim
Raisi had promised wage increases through a "ranking law" intended to
raise teacher salaries based on experience. However, union leaders,
including the Coordinating Council of Teacher Associations, have
expressed dissatisfaction with the implementation, noting that the
policy has failed to deliver the promised economic relief.
Increased Repression of Teacher Activism
Amid growing discontent, the Iranian regime has increased pressure on
activist teachers, many of whom have been threatened, summoned, or even
imprisoned for speaking out. These tactics reflect the regime's broader
response to social unrest and economic protests across various sectors,
including healthcare, industry, and education. In early October 2024,
the Council of Teacher Associations warned against escalating crackdowns
on teacher protests, especially those led by retirees facing delays in
pension payouts. In response to mounting discontent, the Revolutionary
Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly directed economic ministries to
prepare for a <war economy.> This approach includes expanding control
over citizens' lives, enforcing strict dress codes in government
offices, and reinforcing compliance with religious norms. For example,
the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice Headquarters recently
issued dress code instructions for public institutions, with specific
mandates on men’s hairstyles and women’s attire, including requirements
for neck coverings and prohibitions on high boots or visible nail
polish. This crackdown seeks to reinforce strict social standards across
all state-controlled institutions, including education. The Iranian
regime's restrictive policies within its education system underline a
fundamental challenge: a government grappling with a massive teacher
shortage yet unwilling to prioritize educational qualifications over
ideological conformity in hiring practices. The Ministry of Education's
disqualifications based on personal appearance, lifestyle, and ideology
illustrate the degree to which the regime imposes control over its
citizens. While these measures aim to align teachers with regime values,
they have eroded public trust in the education system and contributed to
a deteriorating learning environment.>>
