Budget law: 7,000 cuts in schools, schools protest
Published
The budget law provides for 7,000 job cuts in the education sector. According to la Repubblica, around 5,000 concern teachers and 2,000 administrative, technical and auxiliary staff.
The news has caused strong concern among Italian schools, which sharply criticise the decision. One expression used in the debate is "a slap in the face to students", to indicate that, according to those protesting, the reduction in staff will have negative consequences for the quality of educational services.
Technical and administrative staff play an important role in the day-to-day running of institutions, from managing offices to looking after premises and providing assistance. For this reason, many schools fear that a reduction in these workers could make it more difficult to organise activities, while the reduction in teaching staff could affect teaching continuity.
At present, the available information does not clarify how and when the cuts will actually be applied. The discussion about the budget law and its consequences for the Italian school system is therefore set to continue in the coming weeks.
