School, “stop to the regions in no particular order”
We are on the third day since the reopening of the schools after the Christmas holidays. Is the balance positive?
“We have taken a first, important step, that is to restart regularly with face-to-face teaching. Now, however, the work on the school must continue to ensure that the school year goes on as scheduled and that students, teachers and workers the greatest possible serenity is guaranteed. There will be complicated moments, we know, but the Government’s commitment will not fail: school in the presence and in safety is a priority “.
How many classes are in quarantine in Italy in percentage?
“Minister Bianchi in the press conference held with President Draghi quantified the absentees because they were positive or in quarantine among teachers at 6%, while among the students they amounted to 4.5%. The Municipalities that have decided not to reopen their schools, instead, they are only about 3%, although obviously there are differences between the various territories depending on the pandemic situation “.
What is the region most affected by the quarantine?
“The data is patchy at a national level, but also within individual Regions. There are realities under greater pressure on the front of infections and hospitalizations in which the mayors have ordered more closures, I am thinking for example of some provinces of the Sicily or Molise. But let me say that I consider the signal given by the Government to be important by challenging the provision of the Campania Region, which did not comply with the legal requirements: contrary to what happened in the recent past, a solid barrier was placed on the succession of decisions impromptu by individual territories. We will no longer go in random order “.
Does it exclude the generalized return to Dad?
“We must continue to observe the progress of the pandemic and follow the indications of the health authorities. Dad can help to stem particularly complicated situations for a short period and in a specific territory, but certainly the Government will do everything to avoid a generalized closure. We work every day with this goal in mind. “
Don’t you think that the Covid measures for kindergarten, all in quarantine for 10 days for a single case, are too stringent?
“We have to think that for the little ones there is still no possibility of vaccination and that they are in the classroom without a mask and without distancing, because at that age physical contact with each other is also essential for growth. So the risks of contagion are higher “.
How does the Ministry of Education intend to protect the 300,000 DVA children and young people?
“The protection of disabled students is constantly at the center of my reflections, not only because I am honored with a specific delegation from Minister Bianchi but because I consider it an essential principle of a civilized country and of an inclusive school. fundamental especially for these students, who, relegated at home behind a PC, would risk wasting the progress made thanks to the precious support of the support teachers and a daily routine made up of interaction and exchange with their classmates. their families. And we won’t. “
