The only sure thing is that the places still uncovered are many. As unfortunately families in distress know well, in this first week of opening, with hours sometimes reduced to the bone (two, three hours a day). That this was destined to become a black year for substitutes, unions have long been saying. Added to those already foreseen is the abyss of non-nominations for office (of the almost 85 thousand hires authorized by the Mef, according to the unions, 25 thousand were successful). Adding the so-called Covid staff (about 60,000 additional teachers that the government has made available to manage the emergency this year alone), we reach the record number of almost 210,000 chairs to be given as substitutes, of which 150,000 would still be uncovered. (CISL data).
Lombard’s failure
Minister Lucía Azzolina, on television last night, gave the first figures: So far we have designated 70,000 substitutes, 25,000 today alone. Tomorrow there will be other calls and on the 24th we will have the teachers in the chair. In the past, substitutes arrived in October, with rankings on paper. Now there is a digitized procedure. Too bad the new computer rankings, released hastily, are full of errors. Those in Milan, in particular, were so messy that they became useless. Pippo Frisone of the CGIL Scuola explains: Of the 112,000 requests, more than 4,000 complaints have arrived, which blocked everything. There was also a half-incident with former minister Bussetti, who had returned as administrator, who had invited the directors to proceed with the appointments by extracting the names from the old lists, which the ministry has meanwhile declared expired. Called to order, he stepped back. Result: out of the 10,000 places to be allocated in Milan, so far not one has been filled. We have to wait for the reissue of the rankings – says Frisone – which will take place this weekend for children, elementary school and support, but for middle and high school only at the end of the month. Which means that to see the first substitutes in math, Italian and English, of which there is a chronic lack, we will talk again in the first week of October. Unless the timed substitutes arrive first.
Support
Meanwhile, as always, the most fragile students pay the most expensive bill: children and young people with disabilities. And their families. On Monday, two boys aged 6 and 9 from Pisa and Rome were sent home because there was no support teacher. The ministry has announced investigations, but the reality, not new, is that there are very few teachers with specialization: about 25,000 in front of a need for substitutes that jumped to 96,000 places (more than full time), given that of the 20 thousand expected hires, only two thousand have materialized: one in ten.
