"We ask that our country consider psychological well-being as a fundamental right of the individual on a par with physical health both with the introduction of the figure of the basic psychologist, but above all with a systemic reform that deconstructs the meritocratic pillars".
This was stated by Alessandra De Fazio, president of the Unife student council.
"We are no longer willing to accept a sense of inadequacy, depression or even suicide due to the conditions imposed by a sick system that trades the person for performance," she said in the presence of President Mattarella.
"Universities all over the world are called to develop reflections that are appropriate to the conditions we have, to the changes that are taking place, to the new scenarios.
"Our contribution as a university must be to give substance to intentions, quick and effective solutions to open issues that directly involve you. We are focusing on ensuring permanent, structural support for your psychological well-being within universities", he instead said the minister for the University, Anna Maria Bernini.
