Hashem Nazemi-Jalal, Kordestan’s Education Director General, confirmed that the accused teacher was suspended pending a final ruling by the provincial disciplinary committee.
“Given the sensitivity of the case, an emergency session of the administrative violations board was convened at 9 PM last night to expedite proceedings,” he stated on Tuesday.
Nazemi-Jalal noted that while a fair review may take time, the ministry has approved invoking Article 13 of Iran’s Civil Servants Disciplinary Code, authorizing a three-month suspension during the investigation.
Local parents’ groups have demanded stricter oversight, while teachers’ associations emphasize due process for the accused educator.
