The resumption of elementary and middle schools has been confirmed since 7 January.

For high schools, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia are to reopen them on January 31st. 

In Veneto the closure of high schools continues until January 31st.

This was announced to reporters by the regional president Luca Zaia, who signed an order to this effect.

"It does not seem prudent to us - added Zaia - in an epidemiological situation in Italy to reopen schools. This is what we must do for the good of the community today".

The president of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, Massimiliano Fedriga, "has imagined an ordinance that will postpone the return to class of secondary school children after January 31".

This was announced by the regional councilor for education, Alessia Rosolen.

"Obviously - he added - there are possibilities to intervene between now and January 31, depending on how the epidemiological curve will change in the coming weeks".

The question is not to reopen the schools but to check if the conditions are there and then keep this decision.

This was stated by the secretary of the Scientific Technical Committee, Fabio Ciciliano, in an interview with InBlu Radio, the Catholic radio network of the CEI.

"The most important thing - said Ciciliano - is not so much to reopen the schools but to try to keep them open. The risk of reopening the schools and then having to close them in about ten days or in two weeks. It is something that the country cannot allow because it would be the proven testimony of the fact that the numbers are increasing ". 

Meanwhile, the TAR is asking the government for a "report" to clarify the scientific evidence that has led to impose the use of a mask during school hours for children between 6 and 11 years old.
