“We have decided to return, from the next school year, to understandable formulas instead of the abstruse ones recently introduced. How can a parent or a child understand that ‘in the process of first acquisition’ means insufficient? It’s a question of clarity” . Thus the Minister of Education and Merit Giuseppe Valditara confirms the changes that will concern, from next year, the report cards of primary school children and which are foreseen in the bill based on the work of the Seventh Commission of the Senate which should get the go-ahead in the next few days free for the provision process.
The parliamentary process of the bill will therefore be able to begin which, in addition to tightening the rules for evaluating the conduct of students, introduces changes compared to the reform launched just three years ago with the introduction of judgments related to the level of learning achieved by children and now considered difficult to understand. “We are evaluating whether it is useful to add the possibility of putting ‘severely insufficient'”, explains Valditara.
In essence, the intention is not to return to the grades of the past, but to the traditional synthetic judgment with a ‘scale’ of gradations: insufficient, sufficient, fair, good and excellent. The ratings could become six, if, as reported by the minister, it was deemed useful to also include the ‘seriously insufficient’ rating.
