The country’s education department
published a list detailing hundreds of
illnesses and conditions that prevent
people from entering the teaching field.
But turns out most of these relate to
a teachers’ appearances.
For example, anyone who is cross-eyed, has ugly facial moles or
skin conditions such as acne or eczema face redundancy.
Having a scar or a fungal infection was also on the list.
Other rules that would usually be unnoticeable such as female
infertility, cancer, bladder stones, or colour blindness are also
included.
The list went viral after it was published by the FARS news agency
which pointed out that prospective teachers spend more time
undergoing medical tests than they do on training.

Social media users have attacked the rules, calling them
discriminatory and a clear violation of human rights.
They said that if implemented in
full, people like Stephen Hawking would be
prevented from teaching students in Iran.
An adviser to the President has since
promised that the list would be
investigated.
Since the backlash, an education
spokesperson told the Tehran-based Etemad newspaper that
rules specifically targeting women would be removed and the
rest of the list reviewed.
