Every precious minute: says the president of the national association of directors, Antonello Giannelli, three days after the start of classes in 13 regions (in Friuli it begins on the 16th, in Sardinia on the 22nd, in the others it is postponed to 24). The truth, Giannelli admits, that, day by day, hour by hour, the critic counter – desks, teachers, masks, tests – jumps ahead. Some 5,000 classrooms are missing, at least 2.2 million desks: in many schools, students will have to keep the mask even when seated.
I evaluate
Around 50% of teachers and collaborators undergo a serological test: 2.6% were positive, which means that 13,000 potentially contagious people will not enter school until the swab gives a negative result. Not all staff are said to take the test, voluntarily. The only region that, in the midst of the controversy, has made it mandatory, Campania.
The desks
At the beginning of the school year, 200,000 desks should be delivered throughout Italy, but Commissioner Domenico Arcuri’s staff assures that the 2.4 million will be delivered in October. It will be complicated: with the start of the lessons, managers will have to find the right times for operations, without affecting the schedule, already reduced while waiting to complete the template.
and teachers
the most troublesome knot. The Ministry of Education speaks of the designation of 60,000 substitutes, to which are added the exemptions on maintenance. The CISL denies: 206 thousand boxes have to be filled. The appointments began yesterday, from the provincial school offices, but on Monday the substitutes and Covid staff will begin to be called from the school rankings. It will be difficult to explain to families and students that several weeks will pass before starting with a teacher in the classroom, emphasizes Maddalena Gissi (Cisl). And there is the problem of fragile professors who could further increase the number of chairs to be filled. Last night the formulary was defined for the principals. The worker who presents a serious pathology can be declared fit for work, but with prescription (greater security measures), or temporarily inadequate: in cases of risk, the teacher will stay home due to illness; in the others, it will be used for various tasks.
The masks
Until yesterday the schools have received 41 million, by Monday another 77 million will be delivered, enough for two more weeks of lessons, says Arcuri. Starting on the 14th, 11 million per day will be supplied. They cannot be distributed at the entrance, due to the risk of overcrowding. So students will need to have their own to enter. So how will they be delivered? The directors will decide, says Giannelli. For now, this is the least of the problems.
