The publication of the temporary tables of the 3EA/2019 notice to fill vacant positions of primary and secondary Special Education and Education (SEA) teachers marked the rejection of the applications of more than 1,000 candidates, who found themselves in the dire position of being excluded from the assessment tables, despite the fact that they possessed all the essential qualifications required for their appointment.
In particular, the rejection of the thousands of teachers is based on the non-payment of the required fee of three (3) euros. While the majority of candidates actually proceeded to issue the unique "receipt code", by completing the relevant electronic form for the grant of the e-receipt and registering their IVAN, by the deadline for submitting the applications, however, either they did not pay not at all the fee of the extremely low amount of three euros, or they did not pay it on time, due to the unclear and incomplete instructions given to them and the failures of the application system itself.
After all, the large number of rejections demonstrates that there were indeed ambiguities, capable of misleading an average candidate, much less a candidate who had no prior similar experience of the process. Neither from the announcement, nor from the A.S.E.P. website. it was in any case clear that, upon entering the IVAN of the account, the payment of the fee does not automatically take place, as was reasonably and justifiably the impression made on hundreds of candidates. There was never any form of notification of the pending, either earlier or later, of the final submission of the application and justified confusion was caused to the candidates who had the belief that the fee payment procedure was automatically included in the context of its issuance and coincided in time with it.
The sanction of rejection is an extremely disproportionate measure in the balancing between, on the one hand, the timely payment of an exorbitant amount of three euros, which aims to prevent reckless and presumptuous applications and is in no way an essential qualification, and, on the other hand, the deprivation of the right to work throughout the validity period of the tables, defeats the purpose of its enforcement and makes it unduly burdensome. Access to public positions and positions must be based on objective criteria that are consistent with the personal worth and ability of those interested in occupying them and that are relevant to the object of the intended position, excluding any other criterion, such as timely payment of parabola of 3 euros, which is not prorated, to be an obstacle to the application of the principle of meritocracy and equality.
