There is a sharp increase in vaccinated in recent days among 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. The swab is not a replacement for the vaccine but simply an act of tracing ", said Bianchi again about the Green pass for school staff. The minister also explained that the control on the pass will be done by the principals with methods developed with the help of the Privacy Guarantor.
"The obligation of the Green pass does not concern school students" but only university students.

On the 'chicken coop classes' - which arouse concern for Covid - the Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi, 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 the minister, 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.
"Almost 15% of primary classes, elementary schools, have fewer than 15 students, there is a strong problem of demographic stability", underlined the Minister of Education, indicating it as a problem, which for its size exceeds the figure for 2.9% of overcrowded classes, on which to reflect and intervene.
On the controls of the Green Pass at school "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",
