(Finance) – The Undersecretary of Education Paola Frassinetti in a parliamentary question in response to the MP from Italia Viva, Maria Chiara Gaddaspecified that the teacher’s card can also be used for the purchase of recreational and educational material. “Taking into account – said Frassinetti – the spirit with which the teacher card was introduced (which is to ensure constant updating and professional enrichment) I want to specify that it already allows, in fact, the purchase of teaching material, in which it is possible to include games, board games or toys, provided that such material is defined as such by the seller, also by specification in the relevant explanatory technical report”. There are more than you thought purchasable teaching materials that teachers can purchase with the 500 euro annual contribution from the Teacher’s Card.
Second Marcello Pacifico, president of the Anief union, the undersecretary’s clarification “is one more reason to appeal to the Court for the over 100 thousand temporary workers who have been left high and dry this year despite having full rights: Law 103 of 10 August has in fact opened up the annual bonus for the update only to temporary teachers with contracts expiring on 31 August 2024 (among other things, to date they have not had any contribution). For substitutes hired until 30 June all that remains is to appeal to the Labor judge, supported by the favorable opinion of the Council of State, with sentence no. 1842/22, of the European Court of Justice, expressing its opinion on case C-450/2021, but above all of the sentence of less than a month ago, it was last October 27, issued by the Court of Cassation who expressed his opinion in favor of the Teacher’s Charter to be extended to substitute teachers on contract until the end of teaching activities”.
