What is it?

The Statute of the Teachers and School Managers Assistance Scheme envisages, among the assistance services, the provision of education contributions in favour of children, orphans and equivalent of those enrolled in the Scheme, in a condition of disability

Who is it aimed at?

The education contributions are due to the children or orphans, and equivalent, of employees or pensioners enrolled in the Teachers and School Managers Assistance Scheme, who have a disability condition.

Young people regularly in foster care for a period of not less than six months during the reference school year of the tendering procedure are considered equivalent to children.

Orphans of the other parent or unrecognised by the other parent, are considered equivalent to orphans.

How does it work?

WHAT AM I ENTITLED TO?

The amount of the contributions and awarding criteria vary according to the amount of the last ISEE statement valid on the date the claim is submitted.

The school attendance support measure cannot be combined with and is not compatible with:

  • the attendance allowance;
  • other benefits provided by other entities of a value equal to or greater than 50%;
  • the INPS ‘Supermedia’ competition tender for the same reference school year.
