(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 28 - The government is set to launch a new
housing plan for teachers and boost their wages to stop a flight
from jobs and to encourage more graduates to take up the
profession, Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara said at the
rightwing League party's political training school in Milan on
Sunday.
"We must try to find the resources to enhance the salaries of
all teachers" and "incentives must be found for the most
disadvantaged or border areas so that there is no flight of
teachers. I am also thinking of a house plan for civil servants
and teachers in particular," he said.
"When I read that there are 17,000 teachers fleeing Lombardy...
these are data that emerge clearly," he added, "but ours from
the ministry are even more dramatic.
"In some areas there is a 32 per cent under-supply of teachers".
