Andragendet er rettet til: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner has been a teacher in Portugal since 2004; he obtained a post as a career teacher in 2017, after having worked under contract for over ten years. During this period he completed advanced-level studies, including a master’s degree in special education in 2015. He claims that promotions for teachers who have received in-service training are granted in a discriminatory manner, depending on whether they are career teachers or on short-term contracts. The petitioner alleges that this constitutes discrimination against teachers on contract, in breach of the principles of legality, equality, impartiality and justice.
