Seven members of the Sanandaj Teachers’ Union Board have been summoned to the Administrative Violations Appeals Board of the Ministry of Education. They had previously faced disciplinary rulings issued by the Kurdistan Education Department’s Administrative Violations Committee.
According to Kolbarnews, these seven teachers are scheduled to appear before the Appeals Board at the Ministry of Education in late March. If the initial rulings are upheld, they will become final and enforceable.

These individuals were suspended from their jobs for three months, barred from entering educational institutions, and had 70% of their salaries cut. After defense hearings and submission of evidence, the committee issued various punitive rulings, including dismissal, forced retirement, exile, suspension, and job restrictions.
