Massive teacher strikes rock Iranian dictatorship On Saturday 19 February 2022, the first day of the working week in Iran, thousands of Iranian teachers staged their eighth round of nationwide protests since October 2021, in more than 100 cities and towns. Their rallies and protests continued for the rest of the week. In January this year the Australian Education Union published a solidarity message for the striking teachers on its website.
