The statement warned of the consequences of teachers enduring poor living conditions, adding that a teacher from the city of Neishabour in northeast Iran had committed suicide with a rice pill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement explained how a teacher in the Fars province took his own life last week because he didn\u2019t have enough money in his bank account to be eligible to take out a loan. The amount needed to be eligible was 50 million rials, which equates roughly to $180.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Sunday, Iranian teachers who have passed the education ministry\u2019s employment test, known as \u2018green report card teachers\u2019, held their sixteenth consecutive day of protesting in Tehran in response to the regime refusing to give them employment.
