In the Education Commission, on Tuesday, September 8 at 2:00 p.m. the hearing of the Minister of Education, Lucía Azzolina, on the start of the school year is held.

“We are aware that zero risk does not exist, not even at school. Precisely for this reason, the sense of responsibility of each one and the respect of the Guidelines and Protocols issued together with the competent health authorities will be essential. Those that have just passed have been months of intense work. In the field there was not only the government. Parliament has played a decisive role ”.

“In recent weeks, everyone from the schools and institutions involved has mobilized to achieve the objective of reopening, through its different branches: Ministry of Education, the ministerial, central and peripheral administration, the directors of our schools, the local authorities, the unions, the associations of students and parents. They all did their best to achieve a result that affects the entire country. The confrontation has always been serious, frank. Opinions were also divergent. But this is the salt of democracy ”.

“The Government, in recent months, has always worked with a view to empowering and listening to everyone’s contribution, responding and providing the foundation for a clear parliamentary mandate: to restart the activity of schools safely. Today’s information allows me to provide you with an updated framework on the initiatives that the Government has taken and is taking to allow the start of the 2020/2021 school year, for the return to school in the presence and safety of our students, our students and all the staff “.

Desks“The institutes, as I have said in recent weeks, 2.4 million banks asked us for it. More than 750 thousand are for primary school, therefore, necessarily, traditional type desks, more suitable for children. While 1.7 million banks were required for secondary schools, of which more than one in four are of the innovative type. Delivery already started on August 28 and will continue in the coming weeks. As reported by the extraordinary Commissioner for the emergency with a note dated September 3, 2020, the distribution of the meters began starting from some places particularly affected during the first phase of the pandemic, such as Codogno, Alzano, Nembro, the cities of Bergamo, Brescia. , Piacenza and Treviso, and continues nationwide in 17,863 school complexes, to meet all required needs by the end of October. Each school will have the furniture you requested. I have read various nonsense in recent weeks. An almost surreal debate in these banks. Figures given at random, even with respect to costs. I read that the government is spending money on school. I believe that every euro spent on school is not wasted, but rather constitutes an investment. An investment in the future of Italy “.

DISABLED STUDENTSI also want to remember two subjects that are particularly dear to me. I am referring to female students and students with disabilities, specific learning disabilities, and other special educational needs. And of the students who live in conditions of economic hardship in families that have suffered the effects of this emergency. The Guidelines issued in June contemplate as an essential priority that of guaranteeing, by adopting all the necessary ordinary and extraordinary organizational measures, with the involvement of families and associations of people with disabilities, the daily presence in the school of students with special educational needs, especially of people with disabilities, in an inclusive and participatory dimension. I really wanted to offer this guarantee to families. And it was good to do it. Just as we wanted to use the resources of PON, European resources, to give a concrete hand to those who are going through economic difficulties that can affect their children’s studies and unfortunately also generate dispersion phenomena. We have made an assignment 236 million to give away school books, backpacks and digital devices to girls and boys in the first and second grade of secondary school. Texts that the schools will provide directly. The call expired on July 23. Almost 4,900 schools have joined. We will give free books to more than 425,000 students. We have integrated, tripling them, the resources that are allocated each year to the right to education and we envision a ‘short supply chain’. In the same direction, it is convenient to consider the distribution of 3 million euros for school kits and supplies. With the money that is given directly to the schools, with these measures, we are rapidly supporting thousands of families. We don’t want to leave anyone behind. Our territorial offices monitor the most difficult cases, supporting schools in difficulty. We will do it every day until the resumption of face-to-face teaching activities ”.
