"The school in the hands of politics - the school secretary of the CISL Maddalena Gissi tells ANSA - risks being torn apart and devastated and with it the future of our children. In a" war "situation, like the one we are experiencing, I would be awaited a super partes procedure able to immediately and in a mandatory way implement the indications of the health authorities. The political interpretation of the many resolutions promoted by the CTS, is highlighting a great institutional tussle where each subject defends his own prerogatives and turns around in a tangle of justifications To our grievances and in frugal meetings, the declarations were marked by "we have everything under control".
"The problem of the infection is not the schools, but how the reopening was organized" - says Alessandro Personè of the Unione degli Studenti - During the summer months, not enough work was done to strengthen transport races, build new classrooms against the classes chicken coop and ensure the necessary staff.
Now we are serving a reopening plan that has not given answers to the problems we are experiencing every day ".
"Today we strike because we do not want to have to worry about having to study putting our health and safety at risk: we want to be able to study in any condition. We want to increase the funds of the Budget Law and the Recovery Fund to have an open and safe school , that he does not see packed buses. The government must meet and confront us with students, teachers and parents: we need immediate answers! ", concludes the Student Union.
"The school must be the last to close, no ifs and buts" and "if there are any critical issues the answer cannot be the closure of the school" it must be instead "let's get around a table as soon as possible and reorganize local transport so that schools remain open ".
This was stated by the Minister for Equal Opportunities Elena Bonetti speaking on Radio24.
