The new rules give the green light to the hiring of teachers with paradoxical situations. There are those who have to abandon their family, home and disabled parents. Or give up
Can the opportunity to stabilize your job position, dreamed of for years, turn into a dilemma and a source of anxiety?
This is what is happening these days, for many precarious school workers who, following the hiring provided for by the Renzi Government's Buona Scuola law, are forced to choose whether to leave home to move to other regions or be removed from the rankings.
On Monday afternoon, a meeting was held at the Cisl Scuola headquarters in Ferrara, attended by dozens of precarious workers, during which the hiring procedures provided for by the new law were illustrated. The meeting was requested by the secretary of the Cisl Scuola, Alessandra Zangheratti.
"The hiring - he explains - involves 4 phases: phase 0, which is not part of the extraordinary hiring plan, because it is a tail of the measure of Minister Carrozza, and provides for the coverage of the turnover; phase A, which is part of the extraordinary plan, in which the Government provides for the coverage of all the free positions at the provincial level. The problems begin with phase B, which concerns the positions that remain from the previous phases".
And it is the so-called national phase: «From Lazio onwards the rankings are exhausted. All the precarious workers who fall into this phase and decide (they are not obliged) to submit an application must do so by email by August 14. If they refuse the proposal made or do not respond to the email, they are removed from the Gae, the Graduatorie ad integrazione». In this way, explains Zangheratti, «people are faced with a dilemma: choosing whether to submit the application and abandon their family and often difficult situations such as those who have to take care of family members with disabilities, or not submit it and remain in the provincial rankings and not know what the fate of the rankings will be».
It is a choice that shocks people - explains the Cisl secretary -, also because it is not clear what the fate of these rankings will be. «On the MIUR website, the tenth FAQ (most frequently asked questions) states that 'those who do not submit an application will remain in the Gae until the rankings are abolished'. There is a feeling of great uncertainty about the fate of many people, who live this situation with anguish». Finally, phase C which - she explains - «instead concerns the reinforcement staff, that is, those teachers that each school principal can call to integrate their number of teachers». But how many teachers are there in Ferrara who, if they want to enter the role, will have to apply in the national phases? «There are 120 for nursery school, 113 for primary school, 119 for lower secondary school and 230 for upper secondary school».
Significant numbers, therefore, but behind these figures are hidden stories, of the drama experienced first-hand. One of these is that of Alessandro Mariotti, a high school teacher, who until last year taught between the “Oriani” Institute in Ferrara and the “Remo Brindisi” in Lido Estensi. “I have been teaching for 20 years,” he says, “and I have more than 200 points. I am in phase B, and for my competition class the available positions are in Chieti, Lodi, Oristano, Nuoro. I am taking advantage of law 104 because my father has serious health problems and is hospitalized in a facility. Leaving would mean abandoning him, because my mother died years ago. The absurd thing is that the position I held until last year could go to a person with fewer points than me. I am desperate, I am not only thinking about myself, but about those who have a mortgage to pay, a family; why should they give up everything and go to another region?”
The Sicilian AC teacher is experiencing a similar situation. "I've been teaching in Ferrara for 10 years. I risk having to abandon everything, leave my husband and move who knows where. I can't accept this condition, and I also have a mortgage to pay of 670 euros a month. If I move to another region I'll have to borrow the money from my family."
"The shocking thing - he concludes - was to see desperate colleagues at the meeting, crying, when a permanent placement should have been celebrated. It would have been enough to put the actual staff in phase B so that positions in the province or region would have been filled. If we understand this, why didn't the person who wrote this law think of it?"
