Bahrain’s official news agency says 79 education ministry employees who were dismissed from their jobs during months of protests will get their jobs back. The Bahrain News Agency says the employees would be back on the job by Jan. 1.

The move comes two days after the gulf kingdom said it would reinstate 180 other civil servants in the new year.

More than 1,600 suspected opposition supporters have been pushed out of their jobs since March, when Bahrain’s Sunni rulers started cracking down on Shiite-led protesters campaigning for more rights.
