Overview

• By September, 41,901 teachers move into permanent posts, covering 76.8% of vacancies and lifting overall staffing coverage to 97.3% from 94% last year.
• Special-needs staffing adds 7,820 permanent teachers for 95.2% coverage, with families requesting confirmation of about 58,000 annual or 30-June substitutes to ensure continuity.
• Around 120,000 derogated special‑needs posts will still be filled with substitutes, reflecting the scale of ongoing support needs.
• Operational capacity improves as 326 leadership appointments cut schools under interim management to 403, while 1,000 Italian‑language specialists begin on 1 September to support foreign students.
• Policy steps in progress include a request to extend Piano Casa housing measures to school staff to boost mobility and a decree to reform the Maturità that the minister says will arrive in the coming weeks.
