School unions say unthinkable to accept further cuts—we've already suffered enough

Italian teachers' unions have expressed strong opposition to proposed budget cuts for 2027, stating they have already endured significant reductions. They demand the government eliminate cuts affecting teaching and support staff. Union leaders highlighted that previous assurances of temporary cuts have not been honored, leading to a total loss of nearly 15,000 positions. They emphasize the urgent need for investment in public education rather than further financial reductions.
