Let’s look at the specifics together salaries for high school and graduate teachers and we provide practical guidance for understand the differences.

Salary differences between graduate and graduate support teachers

The tables attached to the 2019-21 CCNL highlight how, for secondary schools, qualified teachers receive lower pay compared to their graduate colleagues, with equal seniority. In particular, support teachers are economically classified according to the entrance qualification for the competition class for which they are qualified. This means that:

• ITP support teacher (Technical-Practical Teacher): if in possession of a diploma as an entry qualification, the support teacher will be paid according to the CCNL tables intended for graduated teachers.
• Graduate support teacher: if the entry qualification is a degree, the teacher will be classified according to the salary scales for graduate teachers.

Therefore, the salary scales of the CCNL regulate the salaries of support teachers based on the entrance qualification to the specialization course. Let’s see how this system works and what are the requirements necessary to advance in the salary range. For an ITP teacher who also has a degree, the legislation establishes that it is not possible to change the qualification from diploma to degree in order to obtain a salary increase. This limitation can only be overcome by acquiring the qualification for another competition class based on one’s academic qualification.

Furthermore, it stated that collective bargaining can legitimately provide for differentiated remuneration treatments between diploma and graduate teachers, since the differences in qualifications, training and experience justify distinct remuneration methods.

Salary mobility process

The support teacher who wishes to obtain an improvement in his salary can, under certain conditions, apply for mobility on the competition class relating to your degree. This process allows, once the requirements have been met, access to the salary range reserved for graduate teachers.
