SAN VITO AL TAGLIAMENTO. As for the resumption of the school “we are ready – says the Minister of Education, Patrizio Bianchi -: we have already invested more than a billion for safety, people and transport”. Masks in the classroom? “The CTS told us that all possible health precautions must remain in place.” Is the vaccination obligation for teachers? “This week we will meet with the Council of Ministers, the decision will be taken by the entire college.” Finally, on the question of professorships and substitutes, “we are very far ahead: with the interventions that we have made as a government and have passed in Parliament we have practically covered the vacancies with extraordinary competitions, with the call of previous competitions, with the interventions planned to enter the next year’s competition all available vacancies »Anticipated more than 40 days for remaining substitutes,« so everything that had to be done has been done ».
During the inauguration of the expansion of the Lef Center in San Vito al Tagliamento, the minister thus underlines that for the new school year the government is prepared not only to start in September in attendance, but “also against possible risks”. The fundamental step, however, is the awareness of the post-pandemic leap that we must make: “The NRRR is not simply having more money from Europe, but the awareness of where we must go: towards a country where education serves to deepen our skills for the phase we have to live “. Specifically, says Bianchi, “we must strengthen basic knowledge by working from the 0-6 year phase, on primary school which is the one that has held up best, working on production cycles, on all educational cycles and on all social cycles” emphasizes the minister.
The problem is not Dad: «To say that the fault is his is only soothing for the pain, a sort of self-absolution. Dad has exacerbated problems that existed even before: a part of the country, 40% of the boys do not reach the international standard. By removing Dad we don’t remove our problems. Of course we have to be in the presence, but with a different participation: participation in that process of change in teaching. And here a battle opens between the reformers and those who instead defend only old privileges. I’m ready”.
«Citizens’ rights are determined together with the mandatory duty of solidarity: in the face of great changes, one cannot save oneself alone. We begin a difficult phase, in which we generally relax, once we have come out of a pandemic: but this is where the real challenge starts. The PNRR must demonstrate that we are capable not only of investing and implementing, but we must demonstrate that we are a great country that leaves no one behind but pretends to move forward, with school at the center as its engine. It is the Constitution that the Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi has in mind, as he himself explained in the idea of training young people, speaking at the inauguration of the Lef. «I have often wondered what allows a territory / country to grow: they are not finance, raw materials, technology, but the human capacity to feel responsible for one’s own territory, the duty to feel like pioneers, to be in solidarity. We have a duty to show that industry is the solid nerve of our tradition: we have an obligation to be reformists but we also have an obligation not to be alone, ”he continued.
The leader of the League: “The compulsory vaccination does not make sense at school.” Letta (Pd): “We need certain rules”
«84% of teachers have already received the first dose of vaccine, 75% have already completed the cycle, and by September it is estimated to reach over 90% (voluntary) coverage among teachers. What is the point of talking about obligations or dismissals at school? ». According to the secretary of the Democratic Party, Enrico Letta, «vaccinations are not optional, when I hear and see Salvini laughing and joking I think this attitude is completely irresponsible: you don’t joke about vaccinations, you don’t joke about the health of Italians. In this year and a half too many Italians have lost their lives, because there has been little attention to things about which more could probably be done. Today we have learned the lesson, we make no mistakes: vaccinations are an absolute priority, we invite the government to take stringent initiatives ». On the Green Pass, on the other hand, the dem secretary said: «I think it is necessary to give citizens and exhibitors a certainty as quickly as possible. The episode that I did not know pushes me further to say that the worst thing that can be done is to leave a limbo in which everyone interprets things as they believe and then, of course, the worst instincts are unleashed. And it’s the worst thing that can happen ».
