Vò Euganeo (Padua), September 14, 2020 – How Ulisse after a long wandering he managed to return to his island, Ithaca, so he students me teachers today they managed to return to House, in schools. She trusted this metaphor education minister Lucia Azzolina to open his speech in Vo ‘Euganeo, during the school year opening ceremony ‘All to school’ at ‘Guido Negri’ primary school. “Ulysses, in the end, did it. He managed to go home – said Azzolina -. And, like Ulysses, the teaching and educational community of today returns to its island, to its school. We have not abandoned ship. Restarting school was a moral imperative. “
With a moved voice Azzolina thus recalled the difficult period that the school went through, overwhelmed by Coronavirus, fighting from today September 14 with a difficult restart, but full of will. “The adversities and obstacles of this trip – added Azzolina – made me think of Ulysses and his long pilgrimage to return to his beloved Ithaca. In recent months, like Ulysses, the school community has faced adverse winds, dangers, storms and vicissitudes, however return to normal. The time has come – said Azzolina with her voice broken by emotion – to return school to the center of the national system. To relaunch it as a first-rate institution where the foundations of the Italy of tomorrow are truly laid. Every minute lost will delay the progress of an entire nation. This is why I say, now let’s raise our heads and look ahead: Ithaca is there. Our home, our future. Let’s get them back. Let’s celebrate this recovery together. Let’s go back to school. “
Azzolina also touched on the theme of renewal from school and of distance education: “It is not just about rebuilding, restarting, but, above all, transforming difficulties into opportunities for renewal. During distance learning, the school has become perhaps more united than in the past. Archiving and simply forgetting everything would be a serious mistake. We do not want anyone to feel alone. I think of the schools in the area where we are today and the titanic efforts made, not to abandon children, during the toughest period of the pandemic. And I also think of all the other so-called “former red zones, which were the first to face the suspension of educational activities.”
So the argument of the possible classroom infections: “There will be cases to handle of possible infections, in fact there have already been, but we must not be afraid: we will face them together. We cannot pretend not to remember that the pandemic has arrived at our door without warning, devastating everything, and that still he is among us. We will have to take advantage of this moment to rediscover a spirit of sharing, of maximum collaboration “.
