School, Azzolina returns to the wheeled benches and emphasizes the reaction to the government’s turnaround on the protocol: “If I were still minister, tomorrow’s press review would have been different”
The deputy of the M5s Lucia Azzolina spoke to the microphones of Italy has awakened, the broadcast conducted by the director Gianluca Fabi, Matteo Torrioli and Daniel Moretti on Radio Cusano Campus. The former education minister spoke first of the government’s turnaround on school protocols, emphasizing the soft reaction of the press. “If I were still a minister I suppose that this morning’s press review would have been very different, with very ferocious attacks – said Azzolina-. Entering the merits, compared to the protocol stipulated a few weeks ago, I immediately said that it was already old because we were heading towards the winter season. Some rules of prudence that we had foreseen, such as the mandatory distance meter, the use of masks and the extra school staff, have been eliminated. All these things, combined with yesterday’s mess over the protocol, cause school problems and school leaders to be disoriented as well as families ”.
“Non-prudential communication from Bianchi”
The former minister was then asked about her successor, the education minister Bianchi. “It would not be correct if I judged” Azzolina replied, “the minister it must be evaluated for what it does and does not do for the school and students and school staff must evaluate it. What was said in September, that there would be no more dad is not a prudent phrase because with the pandemic still underway we cannot say. More prudent communication would have helped. Last year we had put in place a monitoring, to make sure that the school leaders tell us how many infections there were in each school, because we received no communication from the ASL. We collected the data and gave free access to this data, now the government is denying this data to journalists. What the real data are at this time is not known. If in September it is said that we have all the teachers in the classroom for the first time in the history of the Republic, this too is an imprudent communication., because it is not really like that “.
“Benches on wheels, brutal political propaganda, especially from the two Matteo”
Azzolina then goes back to talking about the notorious benches on wheels. “Was made a brutal political propaganda, especially by the two Matteo. Having never set foot in schools, Renzi and Salvini do not even know that those desks exist in Italian schools in 2012, because some teachers wanted them to develop alternatives to the frontal lesson that everyone criticizes. When we decided to renovate the school furnishings, we asked the school managers which desks they wanted and the school managers, based on the type of teaching they wanted to do in high schools, chose 2 million traditional desks and 400 thousand on wheels. Which education minister from Rome could ever know how many and which desks were needed, it was obvious that we had to ask the school leaders and I will always defend their choices because they certainly know more than Renzi and Salvini about school “.
“Did I feel alone? The problem is not whether I felt alone – concludes Azzolina -, the problem is that the school felt alone. The enormous political exploitation has hurt students, families. There have been regional presidents who, when deciding who to leave at home, said: we must decide whether to leave the students at home or who goes to work, because the school is not perceived as a productive activity, which instead And. If this is not understood in a democratic and civilized country, it is obvious that there will be problems ”.
