Reflection continues on the possible extension of the school calendar until June 30. Prime Minister Mario Draghi, in his speech to the Senate, opened the possibility of a reformulation of the year, but no decision has yet been made.
Among the hypotheses that circulate, he points out the Corriere della Sera, especially for children to regain sociability, a need that Education Minister Patrizio Bianchi repeatedly emphasized. Primary schools must be kept open throughout the month of June..
Regarding middle and high school, confirmation of in-person exams for all, due from June 16, seems in fact to exclude the hypothesis of a calendar extension, even if a decision has not been officially made At most, some remedial courses could be arranged. News is expected in the coming weeks, highlighting once again that any extension of the school year is the prerogative of the Regions.
One thing is certain: the method that Minister Bianchi will use will be “concerted” with the decisions that will be shared with the protagonists of the school – principals, teachers and students – and respectful of the rights of individuals and families.
The opinion of the CISL Scuola
“If we were to think about keeping elementary schools open throughout the month of June with play and recovery activities for the little ones, surely we would be in favor, it was a rumor that was circulating but there is no concrete element at the moment.”
To tell ANSA is Paola Serafin, who leads the school leaders of the CISL.
“In reality, the primary has always remained open – recalls the union leader – and with the variations that are spreading, this proposal will have to be carefully evaluated and all the necessary protocols will have to be put in place. But certainly it will not be the school that backs down, the problem is understanding how to do it and evaluate “
The AP opinion
“It is correct to keep primary schools open until the end of June also to compensate for the gaps: the national association of directors of Rome and Lazio embraces the idea of keeping schools open until 6/30 for the little ones. There have been several primary school teachers – explains to ANSA Mario Rusconi, who leads the PNA of Rome and Lazio – who told me that especially the second graders, at the beginning of the school year, had great difficulty reading and writing, having done the second trimester of the first grade in dad. The school, let’s not forget, is made for students, to train them ”.
“As for older children, Anp maintains that evening remedial courses can also be taken with distance education, providing additional remuneration to teachers who will voluntarily provide this service. In addition, some schools are already interrupting the curricular programs for a few days and giving make-up hours for the whole class, to consolidate what has not been learned well in recent years ”.
“The school calendar is an exclusive competence of the regions – remembers Rusconi – the school can only anticipate the start of lessons in September to have days to use on the ‘bridges’. But the early start is always brought to the attention of the Region. Beyond some difficulties that need to be resolved – along with the eighth and high school exams – we will have to look for some adjustments if by chance the regions decide, in concert with the ministry, to extend the school year. I appeal to the generosity of teachers to try to recover the cultural gap that has hit children, with two years of school stumbling. Your future is in jeopardy from the college admissions tests. If by chance it is established that there should also be a school for the elderly until June 30, I hope that no barricades will be built. We rely on the intelligence and wisdom of the Regions that will coincide with the minister, there must be a national parameter, otherwise the risk is to carry out an American federalism ”.
Towards evening recoveries and extension of the school calendar. Draghi “interventions especially in the South”
