Tomorrow, Wednesday 19 June, approximately 70 thousand students from Lombardy they will face the first test of the 2024 high school leaving exams. Like every year, the students prepare and the teachers compete to don’t be part of it from the examination commissions. In fact, dozens of presidents And commissioners they pulled a hole by presenting medical certificates or for just cause. In Lombardy, they were hundreds of waivers according to the president of the National Association of Principals, Matteo Loria. Professors don’t show up or withdraw because of negligible fees.
The situation presented by the Lombard president of the ANP
Teachers give up final exams because they get paid little. The wages are negligible and have never increased from 2007 to today. For example, i presidents of commission they take 1249 euro, the commissioners external 911 (halved if there is only one class to be evaluated), while those interior they receive 399 euros. For support teachers and music high school experts, however, there is no compensation at all.
“The situation is serious“, He says Matteo Loria of the ANP al Corriere della Sera. “We talk about 85 waivers in the province of Pavia, 40 in Bresciaseveral a Bergamo, so much so that colleagues speak of a ‘disaster’. The problem is that in some competitive classes there are no teachers to recruit“. In fact, it is not just a question of money, but also of training. For example, at the Cattaneo institute in Milan there are not two topography professors for the second test. In general, however, ANP specifies that the situation in the Milan area it seems improve compared to other provinces.
