School, competitions for hiring over 30 thousand teachers are underway

The Ministry of Education and Merit has published the notices for the permanent hiring of over 30 thousand teachers in schools of all levels.

There are 9.641 places available in the School primary and nursery school and 20.575 in School lower and upper secondary schools.

The ministry is awaiting authorization for a further contingent of approximately 14 places.

The Minister of Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara, declared that these competitions confirm the government's "firm intention" to "enhance the role of teachers, guaranteeing new skills and their presence even in the most disadvantaged areas of the country".

The rules of the transitional period of the PNRR also allow candidates who have completed at least three school years of service in state schools (of which at least one in the specific competition class for which they are competing) or have obtained, by 31 October 2022, the 24 CFU/CFA as a requirement of the previous system to participate in the competitions for secondary schools.

The competition includes two tests: a written one and an oral one.

The written test, to be carried out in “computer based” mode in 100 minutes, will consist of 50 multiple choice questions on the candidate’s knowledge and skills in the pedagogical, psycho-pedagogical and didactic-methodological fields; the test will also include questions aimed at ascertaining knowledge of the English language and digital skills.

The oral exam will instead aim to ascertain the candidate's level of knowledge and competence in the discipline for which he is participating, general teaching skills, planning ability, use of technologies and multimedia electronic devices.

A simulated lesson was also introduced as a test, to enhance the verification of the candidates' actual teaching abilities in the selection process.

The written test will be held in the region for which the candidate has submitted the application to participate; the oral test will be held in the region for which the candidate has submitted the application or, in the case of territorial aggregations, in the region identified as responsible for carrying out the procedure.

Applications to participate in the competitions must be submitted by January 24, 2024.
