School, escape of the new presidia: they return to the South renouncing their job

They throw in the towel after a year. The pandemic has kept them away from families, now they are afraid that it will happen again. And so they prefer to give up teaching, they ask to return to the chair as teachers to return home. An escape from the North to the South. The complaint comes from the unions and from the PNA, the national association of principals and marks yet another school paradox.

These are the winners of the last executive competition – the first at a national level – who entered the schools last September for the test year. Of these, about half (982 out of 1984) were assigned to a region other than the residence one, most rose from south to north, prompting many of Lazio and Tuscany to move. Now, with the health emergency, there is an afterthought.

It is the renunciation of many new principals in the South hired in Lombardy, Veneto, Piedmont, Trentino or Emilia Romagna the phenomenon with which to deal with warns Antonello Giannelli, president of the PA. “They are too far from home and failing to get closer they choose to return – he explains – After a first year through organization problems for Covid and the lockdown now they do not want to risk others far from loved ones. For them the increase wages are not worth the risk of discomfort. This results in a problem of loss of resources “.

“Some new managers ask us to activate the procedure for returning to the teaching role at the end of the trial year”, he confirms Roberta Fanfarillo, head of school directors of the FLC-CGIL. “The health emergency has accentuated a problem already present before compared to the difficulty of people no longer young, with a family behind them, who cannot remain indefinitely away from home. Only 30% of places are made available for mobility and for three years, however, the position is blocked. Clauses created when the competitions were regional and must be modified “.

To monitor the situation is also Maddalena Gissi, secretary of the CISL: “From this point of view we may have problems but there is still no definitive data, which we are asking the ministry,” he says. For the secretary of Uil School, Pino Turi, “This happens because those people were hired wildly. There is no mobility that can get them home with the rules of the last national competition.”
