Suryaa Now International Desk: Rising cost of living and housing rents in the city of Milan, which is becoming the financial capital of Italy, have led to a serious crisis... Rising cost of living and housing rents in Milan, Italy's emerging financial capital, are leading to a severe crisis. Unable to bear the rising costs in the city, the teachers are migrating and the education sector is being severely affected. Local educationists and government officials are expressing concern over the steadily increasing shortage of teachers in the city.
While rents and prices of essentials in the city of Milan are skyrocketing, the salaries of public teachers do not match the cost. As securing a small rented room or flat in the city has become the norm, teachers are forced to travel long distances from surrounding areas as an alternative. Otherwise they tend to give up jobs in Milvent city and go on transfer to other areas. This case illustrates the burden that the real estate and rent boom in the major cities of European countries puts on the common workers.
The management of schools is becoming difficult due to lack of qualified teachers to continue teaching in the city. As a permanent solution to this problem, the local communities are appealing to the government to provide special housing allowances or subsidized houses for teachers.
