A labor judge in the Puglia
city of Trani has ruled that a primary school teacher who was
transferred to the northeastern city of Udine as a consequence
of a new government school reform can go back to teach in the
southern city of Barletta where she lives with her husband and
two young children.
The ruling on Friday was one of the first decisions on pleas
filed by teachers against their transfers after the so-called
Good School reform came into effect.
Judge Giuseppe Di Trani also ruled that Puglia's regional
school office must relocate the teacher in a vacant post in the
Puglia region.
Education Minister Stefania Giannini last month said some
200,000 educators would be transferred at the beginning of the
school year in September with the majority moving to their
desired location and some 10% having to move father afield.
The teachers are new hires who entered the system under the
Good School reform as the majority of vacancies are in the
northern and north-central regions while the majority of
teachers come from the South, she said.
