The exam centers are far from home, the costs of reaching them are too high. Thus the precarious Sardinian teachers, who have to take the oral tests of the school competition outside the island, find themselves faced with «serious discrimination compared to their colleagues from the rest of Italy, who with a 30 euro ticket and a simple train can easily reach the interview location to which they have been assigned".

This was declared by the councilor for public education of the Sardinia Region, Ilaria Portas . «A Sardinian teacher - underlines the exponent of the Todde council - must spend double the time travelling , taking a plane , and this does not have the same price as a train, nor the same frequency of routes, and he certainly must then sleep outside home. In addition to money and time - he adds - we also consider the inconvenience that all this creates for the teacher and his family".

« Once again, with regards to the issue of school and education, we must take note of how the island's specificities were not taken into account. We are alongside the teachers in this just battle and we will take action in the next few hours to engage in discussions with the Ministry of Education and verify the availability to definitively resolve the difficulties of the Sardinian teachers", concludes Portas.
