for Italian schools overwhelmed by the cuts, the only plus is for teachers of religion. The Ministry of Education has just published its annual dossier entitled "The state school - a summary of the data, school year 2009/2010": the dense volume of 342 pages containing all numbers of the past year. A publication of routine, but this year a surprise: in the midst of so many hyphens, as compared to 2008/2009 one of the few voices that is growing that of teachers of Religion . E 'in the same Ministry to certify it.
The comparison with a year ago over a picture of the Italian school with sacrifices for everyone, from casual to special needs, except for teachers of religion. This figure is in sharp contrast with the cutting of classes and the slow but gradual depopulation of the classroom when he climbed into the chair the teacher identified by the bishop . That of teachers who provide the only lesson option provided by the school Italian is a question that has aroused more controversy.
When in 2004 the then education minister, Letizia Moratti, thought to stabilize them through two separate competitions on political-union split in two. Also because of the qualifications for the competition, reserved for those who had served at least four years in the last ten (from 1993/1994 to 2002/2003), it was necessary to hold the suitability issued ordinary of the diocese. But the second Berlusconi government did not care too much about the controversy and also banned the contest, in September 2005 allowed for the first time in the history of the Italian role in the release of the first teachers of Religion 9167. Since then their number has been growing, until the record (26,326 units) of the school year just closed . The almost 14 000 teacher role, slightly less than 12 months ago, were far outweighed by their colleagues precarious: 12,446 in all.
Meanwhile, the Italian school has been subject to unprecedented cuts. In the period 2009/2012 will disappear 133 000 chairs for a total of 8 billion euro. But not limited to: the increase in disabled students (from 175,778 to 181,177 units) was faced with a cut of more than 300 chairs for support. Almost 37 000 students will have been crammed into less than 4 000 classrooms. It declined even school buildings: 92 less. It touched the school staff pay the highest price at fiscal consolidation. In just one year in-service teachers fell by 4%, with no recovery by the precarious that they had almost 14 000 healthy assignments with relative salary . Not to mention the secretarial staff, janitors and technicians of the laboratory: minus 6% in 12 months.
The past year also saw the launch of the reform Gelmini for the first cycle (elementary and middle school), with the decline in hours and the extended time in middle school. But it was also the year of protests by school leaders to cut school funds and freeze for three years (2011 to 2013) of teacher salaries.
