Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte also spoke of the problems that will arise, of teachers and staff in the message that presents the new school year, on the eve of the start of lessons in a large number of regions.
When sending “greetings to the teachers”, Conte dedicated words of gratitude: “you have made an extraordinary effort in these months of confinement by continuing to teach at a distance, it has not been easy at all and yet you have done a great job and for this We appreciate it ”.
Then, the prime minister addressed the administrative, technical and auxiliary, as well as the directors. “Thanks also to the directors and all the school staff: in these summer months you have not stopped for a moment, you have worked hard to be prepared for the reopening. We will be with all of you, we will be by your side and we will continue to be so in the coming days and months ”, concluded the Prime Minister.
Staff appreciate
The staff will surely have appreciated it. A head of government who turns to them several times in a few days is not so common: Conte also did so at the Palazzo Chigi press conference last Wednesday, when he said that “we will never leave our leaders, our teachers, alone” .
And here is the point. Because the school staff will take up the lessons with many difficulties. In some cases (between delays in counter deliveries and more, plus the lack of support from local authorities) the maximum was not done to reduce their numbers.
It has long been left to its own devices. Even in the spring period of the confinement, for example, there are many teachers, starting with the precarious, who have had to reinvent the profession in splendid solitude. Several institutes, in fact, did not provide them with directions, pedagogical coordinates, instruments, platforms to teach in synchronous mode.
In addition, the category continues to receive salaries that are among the lowest in the OECD area and in the old continent itself, at least among the most advanced countries.
The deal failed
Conte’s words, therefore, become important, because they touch a sore spot. And they create expectations.
To have a meaning and a sequel, therefore, it is good that they are supported by concrete facts. From investments to modernize schools, where teachers operate too often in worn and outdated contexts; Give new life to salaries, to which Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte himself less than a year and a half ago, with Minister Marco Bussetti (Lega), had given the go-ahead to hire temporary workers and bring increases of three figures. Traces of that agreement have been lost: two Stability laws and so many ministers were not enough to see tens of thousands of historically precarious workers absorbed. And not even to see the rag of an approved raise. Neither three nor two digits.
That is why the teachers and staff of Ata, who during the forced closure of three months as a percentage of the plebiscite did not shirk their duty, now ask Conte not to stop there. The time for promises is over.
