Raggi announces pre-school hires

(ANSA) - Rome, July 26 - Newly elected Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi on Tuesday announced 1,121 new permanent hires for nursery and pre-school facilities in the capital. "On taking office we immediately set about stabilising the (contractual) position of nursery school educators and pre-school teachers," said Raggi of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) in a post to her Facebook account. "Now we can say with satisfaction that this work has borne fruit and that through its extraordinary employment plan for 2016 city hall can hire 1,121 female teachers with open-ended contracts," she added.
