Opening of the first day of school with teacher meetings (some remotely), school councils and instructions to students on what the next school year will be like. Courses have also been started for Covid representatives that each school must identify and train. Some institute remedial courses have already startedThey will mostly start in the next few days and high schools have mostly opted to do it online as classrooms are not ready everywhere.
Delays
In Veneto and Lazio where yesterday the childcare services should have resumed their activities, there is a false start. In Veneto one structure out of three has been opened: the instructions and rules have come too close to September 1. In Rome, unions report a lot of confusion in nursery and preschool centers, where classrooms and signs are missing on the floor. Meanwhile, Mayor Virginia Raggi, visiting Minister Lucía Azzolina at the Augusto institute, asked the directors not to dispose of the old two-seater desks: they will be placed in warehouses so that they can be “reused at a later time when we leave Covid in back “.
The empty chairs
Once an agreement has been reached on the maximum capacity of public transport, the main problem to solve because the school year begins with the lessons in the classroom and especially with the teachers in the chair is precisely that of the staff. Today also ends the second call, the so-called “quick call” to cover the almost 85,000 chairs that were left free last year. According to the progress of the regional school offices collected by the unions, the situation is dramatic. In Campania there are more than four hundred teachers of Italian, in Puglia 250 in mathematics, in Piedmont only 24 percent of the 6 thousand chairs have been filled. In Tuscan secondary schools, out of 3,700 places, not even two hundred were found: now almost everywhere the rankings are empty. Not to mention the supportive teachers missing everywhere. So much so that the general secretary of the CISL Scuola Maddalena Gissi said that of the 85 thousand seats “at least 50 thousand will remain empty.” There would be 753,000 substitutes willing to occupy the presidency: but the new provincial rankings are not yet ready and, in fact, are full of errors, which run the risk of lengthening even more the time needed to assign chairs, at least this year.
Indications for fragile workers
The principals are still waiting for instructions on how to deal with requests for “exemption” from fragile workers, from those teachers or aides who for health reasons do not want to have to go back to school. The Higher Institute of Health is preparing a document with the rules to follow. It is certainly not enough to be 55, as it seemed at the beginning of the pandemic, to get the exemption. The worker must demonstrate that he suffers from a “pathology with little clinical compensation”, that is, cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic diseases or diseases that affect the immune system or oncological (regardless of age). It will be incumbent upon Inail to certify the “fragility”. Depending on the severity and type of illness, you will be able to establish if the exemption is necessary or if it is enough for the director to change the working conditions – smartworking, tasks that do not involve direct contact with the students -, as provided for in the call ” special surveillance “. “.
Remission
The meeting with the unions to discuss the matter, scheduled for this morning, has been postponed. “We have repeatedly asked for clarification on the management of so-called fragile workers, it is necessary to know as soon as possible how to manage them,” protests the president of the Association of Directors Antonello Giannelli. But in the meantime, schools have already received thousands of applications in Veneto, Tuscany, Liguria and Campania.
