Italian education reforms: staffing, outcomes, wellbeing

Entities: Coordinamento Docenti Precari · DDL S.545 “Bucalo” · Italian Senate

Overview

The 2026‑27 staffing cycle opened on 16 July, letting teachers submit up to 150 GPS and GAE preferences via POLIS until 29 July, while a new substitute‑teacher portal introduced hourly “posto orario” contracts and a rapid “mini‑call veloce” for support‑teacher vacancies through 12 August. Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara defended the technical‑institute reform on 15 July, emphasizing safeguards for tenured staff and recent union accords. Regional actions continued: Veneto moved the school‑year end to 8 June 2027 to match national exam dates and reported strong INVALSI 2026 results, with 67 % of secondary pupils meeting the adequacy level in mathematics and English listening scores topping the nation. The INVALSI report showed a further decline in early‑school leaving (7.3 %) and dispersion (6.3 %), while primary‑level maths proficiency stayed around 60 %. On 21 July the Ministry issued decree No. 142, capping new staff appointments for 2026‑27 at 79 positions nationwide despite a workforce of 2,224 and 624 vacancies that will continue to be filled by long‑term precarious contracts. Union leader Ottavio De Luca of FLC‑CGIL criticised the limit as ignoring schools’ real needs and perpetuating turnover. From 28 July the SIDI online portal opened for provisional teacher assignments. Applications were accepted until 23 July, the evaluation period runs to 4 August, and teachers have five days to lodge complaints about score or ranking errors. On 29 July the Senate resumed debate on DDL S.545 “Bucalo”, a double‑channel recruitment bill. The Coordinamento Docenti Precari urged a 50 % split of vacancies between GPS hires and competitive entry, preserving the balance introduced under former minister Sergio Mattarella. Applicants may withdraw GPS preferences before the mid‑August allocation algorithm. Child‑protection agencies in Lombardy and Ancona warned that the pandemic and recent crises have increased adolescent fragility and youth violence.
