The School Safety Protocol was signed in view of the start of the new year

, on
measures to avoid chicken coop classes
. The Green pass node will be contained in a specific note that the administration will send to educational institutions in the coming days.
"The PNA did not sign the Protocol because it is contrary to the possibility that schools bear the cost of the tampons. Furthermore, the text does not clarify which unvaccinated employees are entitled to reimbursement of the tampon". This was stated by
the president of the deans' association, Antonello Giannelli
. "We do not intend to favor any logic of 'replacement' of vaccination with a tampon - adds Giannelli -. It must be clear: this is the protection of collective health and this is a priority for us. We reserve the right to review our position if and when the text of the protocol will be modified in the sense requested by us ".
"We are taking
every action necessary to ensure the return to the classroom with targeted and timely interventions.
The agreement reached with the trade unions is a further step and testifies to the common commitment to guarantee every student the right to be able to return to attend school safely and in presence, recovering the relationship with their classmates, teachers, sociality ", says the Minister of Education,
Patrizio Bianchi in reference to the agreement on the Safety Protocol for schools
. "We continue to collaborate, each for their own share of responsibility - he continues - to support educational institutions in their work, to give answers to families and guarantee the right to study for every student. We have already allocated over 2 billion for the return to school . We have been working for months - continues Bianchi -. With the Protocol that has just been signed, we have intervened in support of the most fragile situations and people. As regards distancing, we intervene where there are the largest classes, which are concentrated above all in secondary schools. urban peripheries. We have resources already allocated for these situations, funds that we will now distribute quickly. The schools, then, in agreement with the local health authorities and the extraordinary Commissioner,they will be able to intervene in favor of the most vulnerable, specifically those who are not vaccinated and who are therefore also the most exposed to contagion. Targeted interventions, therefore, in favor of the most difficult situations for a school that wants to reopen without forgetting anyone ".
In relation to the Security Protocol signed between the Ministry of Education and a part of the representative unions, the Fgu Gilda states in a note "that it did not participate in the negotiation and therefore did not sign it as it was an update of the previous document that the Fgu had not signed, not trusting the commitments made by the Government and deeming the guaranteed security measures insufficient ". "The Guild-Unams Federation reiterates that it is in favor of vaccines, but is opposed to the surreptitious obligation introduced by the Government for school staff through the imposition of the" green passport "", concludes the union.
