Rome, November 18, 2020 – “The school it is a productive activity. The minister does not decide on the opening or closing of the school. “The Minister of Education, Luca Azzolina, spoke this morning in a radio interview on the program ‘Non stop news’ on Rtl 102.5. On the subject of the reopening of schools before Christmas, Azzolina was not unbalanced: “We must see what will happen to the contagion curve that I hope will slow its growth thanks to the measures implemented. I don’t want to give a date, but I think there will be a gradual return. “

Azzolina returned to the question of school closings to counteract the growth of cases COVID-19, with inequalities in the measures adopted in the different Regions: “In Italy, at the moment there is a regionalism of inequalities: some children go to school and others do not. It is a cultural problem. The school is like a Cinderella that has suffered rewards and few investments. Today things are changing. Closing schools is easy because they are not believed to produce GDP. Instead school is a productive activity“.




The minister spoke about the repercussions on students result of a home school activity: “The appearance of sociability school is important. Some students are suffering shack syndrome. Opening the school is risk-free. The risks are solely due to the closure. We are working to make sure there are no more closings. In Italy, the minister cannot decide on the opening or closing of the school. “

Students are already looking forward to 2021 and final exams. Azzolina tried to reassure them: “I know that the students are thinking about their final exams. I assure you that we will not make any decisions without involving them.”
