A group of graduates and teachers in Iran protested flagrant discrimination between men and women regarding Education Ministry exams. These tests will be held on September 18 when 3,703 individuals will be allowed to participate. However, 3,073 will be allocated to men and only 630 places will be given to women.
Prior to this Rouhani’s Education Minister had protested the vast number of female teachers and said he is considering to hire more male teachers to change the balance of men and women.
