Usage Note

Supplenza denotes the temporary position held by a supplente (substitute teacher) in Italian schools. It may be short-term (supplenza breve) or annual (supplenza annuale). Italian teachers often work years of supplenze before obtaining a permanent post (ruolo), making this a key term in Italian educational employment.

Examples

"Ha ottenuto una supplenza annuale in matematica."

Natural Translation

She obtained an annual substitute position in mathematics.
