Hundreds of educators at the Center for Intellectual Development of Children and Adolescents go on strike across the country

Hundreds of part-time instructors at the Children and Adolescents Intellectual Development Center across the country have been on strike for about two weeks now, refusing to show up for work. The strike is in protest of their low salaries and benefits after years of service. The center's officials have not yet officially responded to the nationwide strike of part-time instructors.

According to HRANA, the news agency of the Human Rights Activists' Association in Iran, hundreds of part-time instructors at the Intellectual Development Center for Children and Adolescents across the country have been on strike for about two weeks now, refusing to show up for work.

The strike of these citizens is in protest of their low salaries and benefits after years of activity. The officials of this center have not yet officially reacted to the nationwide strike of part-time instructors. However, a number of center managers have threatened to fire all instructors.

A source familiar with the strike told HRANA: "This group of coaches, who make up almost half of the center's coaches, have hourly contracts and their salaries are very low. For example, the salary of a coach with 18 years of experience who works about 60 hours a month is only one million and one hundred thousand tomans. As always, some managers have made empty promises to the coaches, and others have threatened to fire them."

According to this source, most of these instructors have bachelor's and master's degrees.
