FGU: 'Integrate instrumental staff into the Sidi system and ensure stable teaching positions'

The GILDA UNAMS Federation draws the attention of the Ministry of Education and Merit to a critical issue that continues to penalise the proper functioning of music high schools. Despite the fact that these institutes have been in full operation for several years, the number of staff related to the specificity of instrumental teaching is still not included in the SIDI information system. This lack of integration means that, even today, the definition of the staffing level has to be carried out manually, with inevitable operational difficulties, margins of error and inhomogeneity between school institutions.

"This situation has repercussions on administrative efficiency and the timely allocation of professorships, as well as negatively affecting the continuity of teaching and the quality of the educational offer for music high school students". This was stated by the national coordinator of the Gilda Unams Federation Vito Carlo Castellana.
The FGU for these reasons considers necessary a structural intervention that is not limited only to the technical integration in the SIDI system, but that allows the constitution of whole posts and a more organic and coherent management of the whole sector. "We will continue to monitor the situation," Castellana continues, "and to urge the competent institutions, so that an administrative gap that can no longer be postponed is finally filled. It is indispensable to guarantee equal dignity to the music high schools within the national school system," he concludes, "and to adequately valorise the work of instrument teachers, while at the same time ensuring that students receive quality, continuous and coherent training courses
