Rome, 26 August 2021 – A few days beforebeginning of school, with principals protesting the Green pass checks and complaining about the confusion of rules, the Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi intervenes to calm the spirits. He assures us that in the last days we are witnessing a increase in vaccinated among the school staff, minimizes the problem of chicken coop classes (they are “only 2.9%”), excludes the risk of regions returning to quarantine. The minister speaks from the television audience of ‘Morning news’ on Canale 5.
Exams of recovery, privacy, controls: la bell will ring among the paradoxes
Summary:
“There is a sharp increase in vaccinated in recent days among the school staff. Those who have the vaccine or the Green pass go to school, the others will be suspended. We will do the swab to the staff only according to the indications of the health authorities. tampon is not a substitute for the vaccine but simply an act of tracing, “Bianchi said of the Green pass for school staff.
The minister assures us that “we are now over 90% of the vaccinated” among the school staff.
At the moment, according to the latest data published on the government website (which date back to August 20), 81.83% of school staff are totally immunized. But the percentages vary greatly from region to region: 97.24% of Campania, for example, corresponds to 54.49% of Sicily or even 52.72% of the province of Bolzano. Above 90% are Friuli Venezia Giulia (93.44%), Lombardy (91.74%), Molise (94.65%), while above 80% we find Abruzzo (86.77%) , Basilicata (83.26%), Emilia-Romagna (87.39%), Lazio (80.16%), Marche (87.70%), Puglia (85.66%), Tuscany (87.54%), Valle D’Aosta (86.65%) and Veneto (86.03%). Furthermore, Liguria (79.08%), Piedmont (74.24%) and Umbria (74.39%) are placed above 70% of vaccinated in the school, while the patrol of the regions above 60% of prof and vaccinated personnel includes Calabria (67.17%), the province of Trento (66.14%) and Sardinia (67.07%). The aforementioned Sicily and the province of Bolzano are below 60%.
“When there is a positive guy there is a very clear procedure to follow, he and those around him are turned away and it is verified how large the cluster is. a mayor could quarantine a whole Region or a Municipality, today this no longer happens, where it does happen, risk situations are isolated and monitored. The idea that an entire Region goes into quarantine no longer exists “.
On the ‘chicken coop classes’ – which cause concern for Covid – the Minister of Education provides the figures of the problem of classroom crowding, giving its exact dimensions. “This is 2.9% of the classes” and they are found mainly in technical institutes in large cities. “We have the millimeter knowledge of the problem and we are working on it with targeted interventions,” said Bianchi reducing the alarm for overcrowded classrooms and explaining that the rules allow classes with a minimum and maximum range of students between 15 and 27.
On the checks of the Green pass at school, Bianchi reassures the doubters: “We are working with principals and the Privacy Guarantor to have a simple and easy tool that allows principals to check who has the green disk and who the red disk every morning” . And the protests? Only “a union initials” of the school administrators expressed perplexity, the minister said, while “the others have signed the protocol. Let’s not confuse an initials with the principals” As for the timing of the app, it will be available from “when the boys they will be at school “.
“We learn with great satisfaction that the Ministry of Education and Health have concluded an agreement to implement a web platform that allows schools to more quickly check the green pass of school staff”, writes in a note Paolino Marotta, president by Andis (National Association of School Managers). “This is exactly what we asked Minister Bianchi last August 19 when, denouncing the impracticability of the certification control according to the provisions of Legislative Decree 111, he supported the need for an interinstitutional platform, to be made accessible to the school secretariats for the control of possession. of green certification by the staff. And again: “We hope that now the Guarantor for the protection of personal data will be able to adhere to the solution indicated by the two Departments, because it would only certify the instant validity of the green pass, without providing the school with other data subject to privacy “.
