Lupi says school savings should fund higher teacher pay

Lupi says school savings should fund higher teacher pay

Maurizio Lupi called for school budget savings to be reinvested in education in Italy.

He said the money should help raise teachers’ pay and improve education quality.

Lupi leads Noi Moderati, a political party, and was commenting on a budget bill being considered by Parliament.

He described the bill as balanced and said it includes measures for families and young people.

These include expanded parental leave and lower rental taxes for some long-term leases.

The school proposal is that savings made in education stay in the sector rather than being used elsewhere.

Parliament is now examining the budget bill, but no decision on Lupi’s request is given.

As for schools, the resources saved should be invested in the schools themselves, to pay teachers more and improve the quality of education.
