After elementary school students celebrated and danced, Islamic Republic officials demanded accountability from the minister and the dismissal of the school principals.

Following the release of videos from Teacher's Day ceremonies in some Iranian schools showing students celebrating and dancing, officials in the Islamic Republic are calling for a crackdown on what they have called "vulgarity" and say the Minister of Education must be held accountable.

Ali Motahari, the deputy speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, is among the officials who have reacted to the videos of students celebrating Teacher's Day, telling Fars News Agency that the principals of these schools should be dismissed and the Minister of Education should be held accountable in this regard.

Abbas Kaabi, a member of the Supreme Leader's Council of Experts, described the students' joy as "dancers in schools" and a pre-planned program, and called on the "Headquarters for the Restoration of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice" to investigate the issue and file a complaint with the prosecutor's office against schools or institutions that have failed.

Masoud Saghafi, spokesman for the Tehran Education Department, also told ISNA that these factors need to be identified and dealt with legally and seriously.

But the videos published of the students' joy are from the elementary school, and these students are singing songs by several pop singers, including the new song by Sassy Manken.

These videos received a lot of attention from users after they were published, and some compared it to the atmosphere of schools for students in the sixties.

But on the other hand, some extremist users also linked these videos to the 2030 Agenda and asked the Minister of Education to respond to this issue.

According to education laws, students' dancing and tapping along to pop music is not permitted in Iranian schools, and only music approved by the government can be played in schools.

After the 1979 revolution in Iran, and especially in the 1960s and 1970s, revolutionary and religious songs were played at various school ceremonies, and to this day, students are not allowed to dance at celebrations.
