“Where are the Campania students today? Through the streets, shops, shopping centers, I saw the photos.

Azzolina then added: “I look at the data more than the emotions and the data says that schools are safer places than other places in the country, Germany does not close schools for the same reason. It is a priority question: Is school a priority for the country? “. And again: “We work all summer, the data prove us right, a reflection on whether school is a priority should be done by everyone. Schools should be the last to close, this is my thought. He concluded: “It was a pain to see the images of Campania students walking the streets and not at school. Today I received letters from hundreds of mothers who were angry about the closure of schools in Campania; I also received a letter from a very concerned priest: children on the streets in certain areas are at risk of being preyed upon by crime. Finally, I have also received letters from students who want to go back to school. “

“Schools must have relations with the territory, they are not glass bells, they must also be open to business, collaboration must be strong – said the minister – Allowing a child to gain experience in the company can help him with his future. Business is fundamental. “” We need to promote Stem disciplines. Girls – he added in another passage – do not enroll much in scientific faculties. We need to implement the way teaching is done, there is a vulnus. What is the discipline of the future? Who knows. Schools must prepare children with transversal skills for what is to come in 10-20 years. Many are already doing it excellently. ”Finally answering some questions, the minister said with a smile that she had participated in some demonstrations when I was a student, “sometimes, if anything, I walked into the classroom while my classmates were on strike.”
