Hand gels, masks, single-seater desks, classes created in gyms and others that are not ready yet. The back to school will surely have a different flavor for the 5.6 million students residing in the twelve Italian regions who have decided not to postpone the opening. A restart that is a test for the government and will be completed next week, after the vote, when it is the turn of the other 2.3 million students who are still on vacation. However, the concerns of school leaders and unions remain high. “There will be difficulties, inconveniences, especially at the beginning”, also admits Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte in a greeting video message sent to students and teachers. “The school – Conte continues – suffers from structural deficiencies that we have been dragging along for years, aggravated by the current pandemic, but you will have to commit to respecting the precautionary rules to protect your health and that of the people you love.”
Minister Lucía Azzolina, who this afternoon will open the year at a school in Vo ‘Euganeo together with the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, tries to calm people: “School is the safest place of all at this time.” A position also highlighted by the coordinator of the Scientific Technical Committee, Agostino Miozzo, ensuring that the masks “will be available at the school every day. I am sure that in the next few days the distribution will be generalized.
However, it will be up to the emergency commissioner Domenico Arcuri to fulfill certain wishes. Arcuri himself, despite recent protests by school officials due to delays in the delivery of protective equipment, tries to offer Tg1 cameras granite certainty: “Tomorrow morning everyone will have a surgical mask to carry out activities in a safe. We have distributed 94 million masks to 19 thousand Italian institutes, which are already available to school principals. The distribution will last at least until the end of the year and, in addition to the masks, the emergency commissioner points out that the institutes already have 400 thousand liters of disinfectant gel available. A result that for Arcuri already has the flavor of triumph: «We all made a gigantic effort together in a few months, no other country in the world has managed to do the same. Tomorrow is a day of celebration and finally – he concludes, abandoning all caution definitively – we have the evidence that the darkest season of confinement has ended.
The unknowns, however, remain. And most are trying to close ranks, even in the face of turmoil from regional presidents. The idea of challenging the ordinance of the governor of Piedmont Alberto Cirio, after having been one step away from materializing, has returned momentarily, with the hope of opening a dialogue that will lead Cirio to take a step back, causing the families to return the responsibility to measure. student fever.
«Having their parents take their children’s temperatures is a considered optionverno and Cts. It makes no sense to put a child on a bus or in other places where they can infect other people, “reiterates Azzolina’s guest on Domenica Live. What happens if a child tests positive? “The ASL will have to clean up the whole class,” responds the Minister of Education. The short circuit remains, but the strongest fears are for the ghost masters. “There are 60,000 missing, in addition to 20,000 classrooms,” denounces Matteo Salvini. Only in Piedmont – say the unions – the school begins with a void of 7 thousand tenured teachers.
