Exams of the eighth grade and maturity without a mask, the pressure on the government starts

ROMA – “Eighth and high school exams with students without a mask”. A few days before the key event for millions of Italian children, the offensive of those who believe that it is now foolish to force students to face the tests with the discomfort of having to keep the mask in the classroom. Even the principals are to take it off. But the ministry freezes everyone.

At the eighth grade and high school exams “the obligation to wear a mask could very well be abolished: on the other hand I see that there are also 100,000 fans crowded into the Circus Maximus for hours without any obligation”, says the president of the National Association of Headmasters of Rome, Mario Rusconi.

Position shared by the Undersecretary for Public Education Barbara Floridia which opens to a “possible revocation of the ordinance that provides for the obligation to wear masks at school until the end of the school year, as was also hypothesized by the Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri. “Schools have proved – in the difficult months we are leaving behind – safe places, above all thanks to the school community’s ability to abide by the rules. It being understood that the final decision rests with the ministry of health and the health authorities, I believe it is the moment that even at school you can access without masks and freely use all the spaces our children have been deprived of “, he says Floridia.

The other Undersecretary for Health speaks of “political decision” Andrea Costa: “The goal that we cannot afford to fail is to start the next school year not only in attendance but also without masks. I believe that already today there are the conditions to remove the masks during teaching activities but it is a government with different sensitivities. I believe that this is not a purely scientific choice but more a political interpretation “.

It is left to the decision of the authorities on Cisl school union: “To keep or remove the masks in the eighth and high school exams? We want the health authorities to express themselves, the mask is not an accessory, but a device that was used during the emergency to avoid the spread of the virus. the examinations and for the start of the new year, the health authorities should express themselves on the basis of the assessments regarding the conditions of spread of the pandemic “, says the secretary Ivana Barbacci.

The Ministry of Education, headed by Patrizio Bianchi, however, remains firm at the moment on its positions. The government decree that in March designed the exit path from the Covid emergency states: “Until the end of the school year in schools (…) it is mandatory to use respiratory protection devices”. And from here, for now, we do not move. “There is no technical time to change the law currently in force which provides for the obligation of masks until the end of the school year”.
