«There are also all the uncertainties relating to the time of canteen management and in cases, even there, of preventive surveillance. We await the note “which will be sent to schools by the Ministry of Education” but there is certainly not an easy path. The schools will close in defense of health because those who have not thought about it at the national level do not know that, unfortunately, at the peripheral level the managers have responsibilities ».

Covid positive children, how to behave: questions and answers
“On the school – intervenes the governor of Veneto, Luca Zaia – I think the authoritative scientific expression of the CTS is fundamental, which we are still waiting for, after this request was presented to the Regions Conference and brought to the Government on my initiative”. For the governor, in the face of “the important wave of contagion” and the consequent debate on whether or not to reopen “we are faced with a scenario that will be an ‘ordeal’ for the school, among teachers affected by Covid, others absent due to illness, others still no vax and new Dad rules. In short, that of the school risks being a false opening ».

Meanwhile, the regional government will postpone the reopening of schools for three days in Sicily to allow all organizational aspects to be verified due to the increase in infections from Covid. Furthermore, the president of the national association of principals, Antonello Giannelli, remarked that “already in these hours, the number of positive students, in some schools, has reached the order of tens and even hundreds and this makes it almost impossible to implement the procedures envisaged.

“There are school leaders who legitimately protest and ask to close schools: it is right to listen to them and provide them with solutions. There are many others who do not. Like the prof. D’Ambrosio di Vo Euganeo, who for two years has been fighting against Covid with a thousand ideas, or like prof. Squillace of the ‘Volta’ of Milan, who “is ashamed that the school principals and teachers are asking for Dad”, since “the school is an essential public service and we have all been hired to organize and carry out our work”. It is right to listen to all the workers, but it is also right to listen to the families of students who are tired of distance learning. In particular, the mothers and fathers of disabled students, over 300,000 in Italy, who have lost all their achievements due to Dad, all the progress achieved thanks to the work done by their support teachers “. The Undersecretary for Education Rossano Sasso writes this and then adds: «Nobody talks about them, but at the Ministry we know well how to protect their right to study and inclusion. We have demonstrated this with the circular of 12 March 2021 that we will defend as a conquest of civilization and protection of the rights of the weakest. The Government must help the Regions and act immediately with greater tracking, with Ffp2 masks and with ventilation systems, to ensure greater safety conditions for school workers. The resources are there, sharing and political will are needed. The League is there ».
