Precarious.

"The year begins with 200 thousand substitutes"


"A healthy school cannot exist with 25-30 students and a continuous rotation of teachers. Training is not bought but acquired; the precarious can not continue to live in the courts to exercise the their job. Leaving a precarious worker for life is a cowardly way to act. The school year begins with 200 thousand precarious, therefore 200 thousand precarious families. The school began without teachers due to the ministry that has put up rankings full of errors. ministry did not want to listen or change course ".

This was stated by Anita Pelagi, from the national coordination of the precarious school in Piazza del Popolo.



"We had to be hired from September 1st and instead no: those who pay the consequences are the teachers, the staff, the managers. Shame: the minister wants to take part in the competitions in full health emergency without respecting fragile teachers and those who could be in quarantine. We've been showing merit in classes for years, they are unsuccessful, notional competitions that don't consider empathy, what are we talking about? The best way to evaluate a teacher is on the field. And then there's the teacher scandal support excluded from any stabilization process. It is unconstitutional, an offense ".



Furlan, CISL: "The government does not underestimate the protest"


'' Even the CISL is today in the streets together with students, teachers and families for a safer school, more investments, coverage of staff to guarantee everyone the right to study.

The government does not underestimate the protest.

The future of our country depends on the school ''.
