The recruitment competition for 44,654 permanent teachers in common and support positions begins today. The goal is to provide stability to recruitment by selecting future teachers based on their teaching aptitude. As part of the selection process, candidates will undergo a simulated lesson at the end of their probation period. This competition represents a significant step forward in combating job insecurity and ensuring a quality education for students, promoting educational continuity, explains the Minister of Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara.
The written test will take place on a computer in the region where the candidate applied. Multiple morning and afternoon sessions have been organized based on the number of candidates in each region. Each candidate will have 100 minutes to answer 50 multiple-choice questions, including 10 on pedagogical content, 15 on psycho-pedagogical content (including inclusion aspects), 15 on methodological-didactic content (including evaluation aspects), 5 on knowledge of the English language, and 5 on the educational use of digital technologies. Each correct answer earns 2 points, while incorrect or unanswered questions receive 0 points. Candidates who score at least 70 out of 100 will pass the written test and proceed to the oral examination.
The oral exam will assess candidates’ preparation in both disciplinary content and teaching skills, requiring them to conduct a simulated lesson. The written test for the competition for Nursery and Primary School teachers will be held in a maximum of 3 sessions on Monday, March 11 (morning and afternoon sessions) and Tuesday, March 12 (morning session). The written test for the competition for Upper and Lower Secondary School teachers will be conducted in a maximum of 10 sessions, in the mornings and afternoons, on the days of Wednesday, March 13, Thursday, March 14, Friday, March 15, Monday, March 18, and Tuesday, March 19.
This recruitment process aims to address job insecurity among teachers and ensure a high-quality education for students by selecting candidates based on their teaching aptitude. By incorporating a simulated lesson into the selection process, the effectiveness of future teachers can be better evaluated. Additionally, the use of a computer-based written test allows for a more efficient and standardized evaluation of candidates across different regions. Overall, this competition represents a positive step towards improving the educational system and providing students with a more stable and continuous learning experience.
