On the situation of teachers with an ITP (Insegnante Tecnico Pratico - technical teacher) diploma in Italy 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner complains about the unfair exclusion of teachers with an ITP (technical) diploma from the group of second-grade graduates for the three-year period 2017-2020. She has an ITP diploma which entitles her to teach B011 (agricultural science laboratory) and B017 (agricultural mechanics) classes. The petitioner takes the view that she is the victim of discrimination by the Ministry of Education, Higher Education and Research, which is refusing to allow her to teach in Italian vocational training schools. She is therefore asking Parliament to verify whether the Italian law is compatible with EU legislation.Information– The petitioner has lost an appeal in a ruling by the Italian Council of State.
