Hamza Mansour, coordinator of the "Contracted Teachers Movement," affirmed in a statement the right of southern students to have a special official exam curriculum that compensates them for the teaching days and interruptions they suffered, marked by the sounds of rockets, drones, bombings, fear, and resilience. He stated, "It is time to grant the rights of the contracted teachers who have been displaced from their villages and schools, who have not received any pay for any hour or day for the months of October, November, and December since the beginning of the school year, despite the government's awareness that what happened to them is due to the criminal acts and aggression of the Israeli enemy."
He addressed the Minister of Education and Higher Education in the caretaker government, Abbas Halabi, saying, "We want these issues to be resolved through you, and with the necessary speed, as the situation can no longer be tolerated, neither by our students nor by our teachers." He expressed hope that these issues would be resolved before the end of this month, alongside issues concerning the payment of productivity allowances for contracted teachers during the summer months, and increasing the hourly wage for all contracted teachers.
