The governor of Campania closes schools until October 30 after the rebound in infections that affected the Region with a total of 21,772 positives between symptomatic and asymptomatic, 110 in intensive care and a total of 496 deaths.
Figures that, obviously, were considered excessive by the Governor who decided to suspend teaching activities with the activation of distance education until June 30. News not welcomed by Minister Azzolina who defined it as “a very serious and wrong decision” because “the growth of infections does not depend on the school.”
Infections data
Today the data on infections in Italian schools were released, with 5,793 positives among students and 1,020 among teachers, with an incidence on total infections of 15.7%. However, the published numbers do not tell us the details of the infections in the individual regions that Campania’s leaders will not have found reassuring.
Contagion and competition for the chair is a political conflict
The problem related to the Covid emergency is extraordinary competition. In fact, there are 831 candidates from other Regions who will have to go to Campania to take the test, in addition to the competitors from the Region. Today’s events have raised fears among the candidates.
Resonances also at the political level. The League is prepared and does not miss the opportunity to attack a procedure criticized by the party from the beginning. “Minister Azzolina – said the secretary – confirms a ‘contest’ that starting next week will involve 66,000 teachers who will leave their classrooms and travel through the regions. Madness, stop! “.
Nencini, a majority man and president of the Senate Committee on Culture, also launched an appeal: “imagine a different solution for extraordinary competition”
Controversy also from the union world, with the UIL attacking “This competition is not in the public interest, it has no public effects since the same people are teaching these days and will do so for the next two years, at least. “
Sgambato, director of schools for the PD, also spoke about the competition for the chair. “We are facing the dramatic reactivation of the health emergency and the safety of citizens must be at the center. Some regions are deciding to close schools as a precautionary measure. Therefore, conducting competitions in this phase of exponential increases in the Covid contagion curve exposes not only the participants in the competition to enormous risks, but also the staff of the school complexes that must host them for the tests. . We cannot fail to recognize that we are facing the same situation, if not worse, than when the competition was postponed. And for this reason, reflecting on the need to transfer it to better times in terms of health seems to us the most appropriate. We invite the Government to quickly reflect on this ”. The head of the School of Pd Camilla Sgambato writes in a note.
