The Commission does not generally oversee internal competition mechanisms, which fall within the scope of competences of the Member State, without prejudice to its role as guardian of the Treaties.
Regarding the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Commission is working closely with the Italian authorities to ensure the effective implementation of Italy’s national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP), including the reform of the teacher recruitment system in Italy ( Reform 2.1, Component 1, Mission 4 of the NRRP).
In addition, the Council Implementing Decision (CID) approving the assessment of the recovery and resilience plan for Italy[1] only determines the requirements for eligibility under the reformed system and the number of teachers to be recruited, and does not concern a recruitment approach across competitions, nor a single ranking system.
Specifically, the CID does not contain specific conditions regarding the recruitment of eligible candidates from previous NRRP competitions.
Overall, the recruitment procedures organised by Italy are competitive processes and qualifying examinations. They are designed to select candidates with the highest qualifying scores, in line with the number of available positions.
While candidates who exceed the minimum threshold but do not rank among the top scorers are considered successful in meeting the eligibility criteria, they are not guaranteed immediate employment and may need to participate in future competitions.
