There is a risk of political mess in kindergarten, primary and secondary school: while the Government with the last Dpcm decides to agree with Minister Lucía Azzolina and keep the schools open in presence in the first cycle and in the first grade of secondary (except the “red areas “where the DDA will begin from the second grade), from some Regions the governors endorse the right to toughen the provisions made by the executive and confirm the contrary decisions for an additional period: schools of all levels will continue with the DaD. Not only that, there are those who, like the president of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, he argues with every reason, it will constitute a dangerous “wall against wall.”
De Luca: at school with a mask? Baffling
“We wonder – says the Governor of Campania, commenting on the Dpcm of November 4 – what has changed compared to the last two months, during which the Minister of Education told us that the activity would never, ever, be closed. within schools. Precious weeks have been missed and, in the meantime, infections have risen significantly even in the 0-18 age range. “
“Also, elementary school kids have to wear a mask in class. It’s frankly disconcerting, ”continues De Luca, implying that he would not have preferred a no to face-to-face teaching for all students.
In Campania soon a new ordinance
At night it became known that schools in Campania will remain closed, although the Region has been included in the list of “yellow” areas that provide classroom instruction except for upper secondary schools. Campania, we learned from sources in the Region, will remain firm in the closure of each grade of schools that will continue with the modality of distance education, scheduled at least until November 14.
In practice, after the publication of the government measure in the Official Gazette, an order will be issued to confirm the closure.
De Magistris: DaD impossible for the little ones
However, he is of a different opinion the mayor of Naples, Luigi de Magistris, according to which “in light of the content of the dpcm, I believe that the president of the Campania region should review the absolutely unacceptable decision to close the kindergartens and primary schools that remain open throughout Italy, even in the most tragically affected “.
The former magistrate maintains that to allow the presence of the school “in Naples, open spaces could be used, as well as secondary classrooms that are closed. By organizing ourselves together we could guarantee especially the youngest ones, so distance learning is very difficult if not impossible, school in presence ”.
Emiliano (Puglia): if the government wants to intervene!
However, the decision to continue DaD for all schools also worries Puglia, where the regional ordinance will remain in force, with which face-to-face classes have been suspended for about a week in schools of all levels, except for kindergarten.
The confirmation came from President of the Puglia region Michele Emiliano and Health Councilor Pier Luigi Lopalco, specifying that if the national government considers it absolutely necessary to reopen teaching in the presence, it can request the revocation of the ordinance from the President of the Apulia Region, who will evaluate it in agreement with the Minister of Health.
As if to say, if Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and the CDM consider that they contradict the decision of the Apulian board, they will have to assume their responsibilities.
Directors: what a stress!
They will surely have unions and school leaders on their side. The Association of Presidents of Puglia He made it known, as expected, that he “considers it urgent today to withdraw the order from President Emiliano” on the closure of schools. In a note signed by regional president Roberto Romito, he says that we are in a paradox because that of Puglia is “a more restrictive ordinance than the measures ordered by the Government and that it would continue to be more restrictive even if Puglia were declared a red zone, the maximum risk “.
The association argues that the withdrawal of the ordinance “would also be functional to give greater operational certainty to school administrators who, here in Puglia but also elsewhere, have seen regulatory structures change in a few days and several times, with the consequent stress and organizational chaos into which they have fallen “.
too the unions of Apulia FLC Cgil, CISL Scuola, UIL Scuola, SNALS Confsal and GILDA Unams They request an urgent meeting with the President of the Region, Michele Emiliano, and the Regional Office of the School to convene the permanent table.
They maintain that the closing of the first and a half cycles “obviously creates difficulties of interpretation”, and they request “that a meeting be convened ad hours with extreme urgency, to immediately share the new provisions.”
