Iranian Shabbos Goy

The Iranian matriculation exams schedule lands on a Saturday this year. While I am surprised this can happen because in the Western world Saturday is not a school day, I guess in Iran it happens. Behadrei is reporting that the matriculation exams on Saturday presents a serious problem for Jewish students. There may not be that many, but they need to be able to sit their exams as well... The Tehran Jewish Committee has worked with the Iranian Ministry of Education to find a solution, and they did!. the solution is basically to use a "Shabbos Goy".

The announcement made by the committee says that all Jewish students in all the cities of our beloved homeland Iran are able to request assistance from the secretary during the exams on Shabbos. There will be people available appointed by the schools to assist the Jewish students on writing the exams. There will be no cost involved and no authorization letter will be needed - just request it and a goy will be provided. Any Jewish students who might wish to avail themselves of this service should request it in advance from the school administration so the appropriate number of goys available can be arranged.

Obviously they will not help with supplying the answers but to accomplish the writing task, the schools will have shabbos goys available for any Jewish students that need one.
