What is the Teacher's Charter and who can benefit from it?

What can you do with the Teacher Card?

This card allows you to purchase goods or services that are used for the cultural and/or professional growth of teachers. With the value of this card you can in fact purchase books, magazines, hardware and software. Not only physical objects, but also access tickets to museums and cultural events as well as university registrations and refresher courses.

How can you use the Teacher Card?

Five hundred euros can be a lot but also very few. Lots of money when we find it available as a "gift", but very little when we go to spend it and realize that with this amount we won't be able to buy what we want and need. We are therefore forced to prioritize, making painful choices and realizing that we will not be able to afford what we need to do our job better.

Teacher's card for technological and IT equipment

In fact, we could decide to use the Teacher Card to purchase a tablet, a laptop or a desktop PC and make our lessons more engaging. Or we could choose to use this bonus for a photo printer, which allows us to "put on paper" the highlights of the school year. Or we could use this money for storage equipment (hard drives) that allow us to save our files and transport them easily between the various classrooms.

Thinking about it, the possibilities provided by the Teacher's Charter are numerous and all very interesting for school and educational development. The problem is that often, only one of the individual hardware devices indicated above covers the value of the card, if not even exceeds it, forcing the teacher to put money out of his own pocket.
