Council of State of Italy, Seventh Section, N.1842/2022, 16 March 2022

Equal pay for temporary religious education teachers compared to tenured teachers

articles 3, 35 and 97 of the Italian Constitution

The provision of a form of financial support related to teacher training that is limited only to permanent teachers introduces blatant discrimination to the detriment of non-tenured teachers, since it does not also provide them with an instrument that can support their training activities, and causes a clear violation of the principle of good performance of the public administration by implementing a system that favors the training of permanent teaching staff only, to the detriment of the training of precarious staff.
