The Regions in Government: “Distance education must be strengthened in secondary schools”

The meeting between the representatives of the Regions and the ministers Francesco Boccia (Regional Affairs), Paola De Micheli (Transport), Lucia Azzolina (Education), Gaetano Manfredi (University) and Roberto Speranza (Health) has ended.

The President of the Conference of the Regions, the Governor of Emilia Romagna Stefano bonaccini, announced that the government would consider proposals from local authorities: “We must act urgently to counter the advance of the virus. Although we are willing to intervene on all the most critical fronts, with the priority of safeguarding school and work as much as possible ”.

Precisely to safeguard the school in presence, especially for the youngest students, the Regions are asking to have a greater impact on the entry and exit sections of schools.

At the same time, it strives to strengthen distance education in secondary schools: “Integrated teaching has already been tested this month, we asked the government for a specific indication in the Dpcm. This is because it is not within the prerogatives of the mayors or the Regions to organize the times and methods of organizing school autonomies “Bonaccini emphasized.

Regarding transportation, however, the governor stressed that “Faced with a very positive work carried out in the last two months, with the expansion of lines and races, it is about reorganizing as far as possible the hours of services and cities to lighten the numbers at certain peak times”.
