(ANSA) - Rome, April 19 - Italy's education and research
sector on Thursday signed a contract renewal that changes major
points in ex-premier Matteo Renzi's contested 'Good School'
reform.
The new contract envisages more collegial decision-making
than in the Renzi reform, which allegedly gave overweaning
powers to head teachers.
School-level bargaining on terms and conditions, which had
also been restricted by the reform, has also been boosted,
sources said.
With the contract renewal come pay rises of an average gross
amount of between 80 and 100 euros, while arrears will also be
paid.
There is no rise in the number of working hours, union
sources said.
UIL Scuola union chief Pino Turi said "we have done a good
job in the interests of the workers and Italian schools.
