Back to school, goodbye to distance learning? For secondary schools, it will continue to integrate face-to-face lessons

Who thought that distance education With the start of school there would only be one memory left, he will be disappointed: upper secondary schools They are ready to go just thanks to dad. From North to South, teachers from secondary schools and technological institutes, but also from professionals will continue in many schools to give online lessons.

A national figure There is no doubt how many institutes will need to resort to distance education: the Ministry of Education has not yet carried out this monitoring and not even many regional school offices are verifying this phenomenon.

However, when analyzing some realities, we discovered that to cope with the lack of space, many school leaders had to choose the father. On the other hand, the school plan presented on June 26 by the Minister of Education Lucia azzolina planned for this solution: “For second grade secondary schools, there will be – read the guide – a properly planned use for students of face-to-face teaching activities and, in a complementary way, integrated digital teaching, where the conditions of the context makes it a preferable option or the technological opportunities, age and abilities of the students allow it ”.

Dad’s choice in Abruzzo, for example, it was chosen by about a third of schools, according to data from the school’s regional office. “High schools will be able to appeal – explains the manager Antonella Tozza – to online classes, but in a residual way, up to 30% of the total hours. In our region we have accompanied this process with several training courses ”.

too Rocco pinneri, the director of the RSU of the Lazio region admits that the institutes that will use the father will be many: “There are few fortunate schools that do not need to do distance education. We worked hard to find spaces for high school, but it wasn’t easy. “

In the north, the situation does not change. In Veneto the head of the USSR gives us the photograph of reality Carmela palumbo: “The problem mainly concerns the provincial capitals. In these cities, at least seven to eight schools will also teach at a distance. They are institutions that have preferred to have more space in the classroom. Dad will not finish in the middle of the class, but in some students who will alternate each week. In any case, no more than 10% of high school students will choose this path ”.

In tuscany Roberto Curtolo, the manager of the regional office of the school in an interview with the station “Controradio” said: “About one third of secondary schools will use the integrated system, mainly with classroom lessons, but also with distance education. It depends to a large extent on the organization that the schools have given between June and July and on the availability of spaces and teachers: the schools that already had the spaces available for distancing have carried out the programming in presence also requesting the necessary personnel – specify Curtolo – while the schools that have had the spaces available only these days have done another type of organization ”.

In Emilia romagnaOn the other hand, manager Stefano Versari has not yet monitored the phenomenon and has no intention of doing so in this delicate phase of resuming school activity. TO MilanMeanwhile, three out of ten high school students will take lessons at home.
