CHANGING THE SCHOOL, BUT MINUS THE INITIATIVE ON SCHOOL
was held in Grosseto on April 7 last year a meeting was organized by the Municipality on "Prospects for the public schools in the territory of Grosseto in the light of new regulations." Listening to the speakers, including experts in the field school, there is the perception of a progressive "soffocamenento" that seems destined for public education. We always talk about reductions: class, of schools, of teachers and resources. The head teachers are committed to limiting the damage from a wave of "minus signs" that is coming down on school sector from the government. The cuts will be in growing and will feel more and more with each passing school year. The superintendent says that we must be content, because, if the quantity to be managed are critical (staff reduction, growth in students, equipment and money in spades), the quality is still maintained. In our opinion, is the basic consideration that the school remove resources means divesting the future, professional and citizens of our children. In addition, the social disasters that will be created as a result of "counter-reform": no more precarious jobs, impoverished countries by the closure of small complexes, which funds the school is not even enough to buy toilet paper ... It gives an account of the conference as well as appeared in the local press.
"Il Tirreno - Grosseto on 8 April 2009
HUNDRED TEACHERS IN LESS FROM SEPTEMBER
The superintendent sets the scene: not only the master class will
" As pupils confirms the trend already recorded in previous years an increase of the school population, which presumably will be 400 units than at present. E there is a stabilization of the line for what concerns the choice of high school by the families of Grosseto. A reminder to do so is Dr. Alfonso Greek, Director of Education in the Province of Grosseto, before taking off the inscriptions of the next school year. However it is expected, although the data are not yet clear because there are still allocations at the regional level, a reduction of the teaching staff of about one hundred units in service since September 2009, in the province of Grosseto . -note-Although the number of classes will remain roughly the same? "Sure. Regarding the number of classes will be equal, even taking into account the recent Gelmini reform that increased the class size. That's because about 400 pupils to more organized in the various orders and grades, we will have about 3 or 4 classes in more than a year. " This is true for middle and high schools. But what is the situation in elementary school? "Even an increase of the elementary students in the face, as already announced by the famous financial Tremonti Gelmini and then with the reform, a cut of professional resources available. Cutting remarks that are most at school level where the average population growth is higher than in elementary school. " What does this mean? "It means fewer places available to the teachers of the province of Grosseto. If the classes are actually the same, and students are rising, maybe this cut is due, for example in primary schools, the teacher only? " Surely there will be the teacher because no single class of primary school in the province of Grosseto will be structured along 24 hours. The selection of households for 27 hours or 30 hours, or for full time. So there is definitely no class will be divided on a single figure of a teacher. " So what comes from the decrease in the number of teachers? "is the ratio of time that each teacher will directly with the class. Put simply be abolished so-called co-presences, that is, the simultaneity of two teachers in the same class in the same lesson. " This applies to all? "Applies to elementary, middle and to the same applies to the top. Although the reform was delayed more than a year for the past year we have a reduction in working hours of instruction , but not of time but frontal teaching time available to the single class of four hours for institutions and specifically for the third professional classes in vocational schools. " Dr. Greek, the estimated one hundred fewer teachers in September. How many teachers are now in our province? "Currently in-service teachers, excluding teaching staff, are about three thousand." And the percent who will cut what will happen? "It's not that they will be fired. We are at a stage in which mostly treat the staff. So either find themselves a place in their seats by virtue of ownership of retirement, or will be moved to other locations today free of professors in charge. " And then the match turned in the hands of those who remain? "In September, rather than appoint substitutes with about 400 people yearly, appoint a hundred less. " Then the ax will fall again over the heads of casual? "This is clear, being the insecure person that is used within the school system to close the holes, holes will be less and less will be the temporary use." I will still precarious prospects? Are expected to continue as contests or entries? "It 'was announced a request for the taking of about twenty thousand units, up nationwide starting next school year, agreed with the unions by the ministry. I hope that soon there will be provisions for dates to meet at least some of these precarious.
