"In Sardinia , 20% of teachers will be precarious, a percentage that reaches 50% among support teachers. In these conditions, it is unthinkable that the school can function and represent a real investment for the future of the country."
The data on who will be teaching in classrooms on the Island starting from mid-September comes from the Democratic Party senator, Marco Meloni, who speaks of a "record number of precarious workers for which Giorgia Meloni's government is fully responsible".
The vacant positions, according to the Sardinian Democratic Party representative, "could be largely filled by using the rankings of the competitions announced in recent years", but the current Government "has severely limited permanent hiring, forcing those who have already won a competition to remain in a precarious condition".
Words that come as the precarious, organized, announce that they have collected 12 thousand signatures in a few hours in support of a letter addressed to the main trade unions and parliamentary groups. The promoters of the national initiative, the Sardinians Danilo Lampis and Maurizio Brianda, explain: «We have mobilized forcefully to denounce the stalemate in which we find ourselves, despite having passed the competitive exams. In a climate of growing concern for our professional future, we declare ourselves ready to fight against a system that continues to leave us alone in precariousness, asking for urgent and targeted intervention by the institutions».
The teachers emphasize that they have "passed selective tests, many of us have already demonstrated our value in the field and we have been deemed suitable by a system that now turns its back on us, leaving us at the mercy of precariousness, condemned to take another competition, the same tests, during the next autumn. Maybe we should take a flight again and a room in a b&b to go and take the tests, as has already happened to many Sardinians".
Brianda and Lampis accuse again: «It is unacceptable. We are not numbers to be included in rankings of which we do not even know the final outcome and our precise position, nor people to be used as ATMs for online universities and private entities that provide, at very high costs, masters and certifications that inflate scores in an inexorable war between the poor, everyone against everyone. You cannot pay to work. We are teachers, educators, trainers of the future generations of this country, and we deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. We forcefully ask», they conclude, «that our requests be heard and that an end be put to a system that rewards uncertainty and penalizes those who have demonstrated competence and passion. We want a concrete and immediate commitment from the institutions, so that job stability becomes a reality and not a mirage».
