Teachers’ unions in Iran are raising alarms over worsening conditions in the education sector, citing severe underfunding, overcrowded classrooms, and a growing shortage of qualified staff as key challenges. The unions describe the situation as a deepening crisis that threatens the quality of education and the well-being of both students and educators. Reports highlight systemic issues, including inadequate resources and deteriorating infrastructure, which they say are pushing the system to a breaking point. Authorities have yet to address these concerns publicly, leaving teachers and families in uncertainty about the future of schooling in the country.
