SAN MARINO – Transparency on costs, on the scoring criteria and on the impact on the school organisation. These are the points at the center of the question presented by Domani-Motus Liberi on the training course intended for temporary teachers in San Marino schools.
According to reports received by the movement, the course would involve around a hundred teachers and could cost around 3,000 euros per participant. These are figures on which the political force asks the State Congress for timely and documented clarifications.
Among the issues raised is first of all the nature of the path: it is necessary to understand whether participation is mandatory or whether the possible recognition of a score in the ranking could make it, in fact, difficult to avoid for those who want to maintain their professional position.
Domani-Motus Liberi also asks to verify any overlaps with university and training courses already completed, so that the skills acquired through studies and work experience are recognised.
Another aspect concerns the compatibility of the lessons with the service timetable. Based on the reports reported in the question, some training appointments coincide with school activities, particularly on Monday and Friday afternoons, making it necessary to reorganize work.
The movement draws attention to the possible consequences for educational continuity, especially in supporting pupils with disabilities and in carrying out motor education activities. The constant presence of support teachers is indicated as an essential condition to guarantee the full participation of students in school life.
With the question, Domani-Motus Liberi finally asks to clarify who established the course, what the regulatory basis is, what criteria govern the attribution of the score, what the overall cost is and to which subjects the sums paid are intended.
The movement reiterates that professional training represents a fundamental element for the quality of the school, but underlines the need for the paths to be sustainable from an economic and organizational point of view, while protecting the work of teachers and the right of students to educational continuity.
