School unions said Thursday they
would call their members out on strike against the 2018 budget
because it allegedly does not allocate enough funds for Italian
schools.
"There are insufficient funds for schools" in the budget, a
joint statement from Flc Cgil, Cisl Scuola, Federazione Uil
Scuola Rua and Snals Confsal said.
The unions called for "extra investments to guarantee
teaching standards and valorise the professionalism of all
operators".
They said the budget approved by cabinet Monday "does not
respond to the real needs of public education in our country".
In support of their claims, the unions said they would
"activate all the initiatives of mobilisation necessary".
Until recently teachers have protested against the 'Good
School' reforms of the former government of Democratic Party
(PD) leader Matteo Renzi.
