(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 21 - "Maturity is not a test but an overall evaluation also on how the children have grown.
We wanted to give a lot of space to the oral test to allow the children to express themselves; even if there was a 'slip' to the tests of the boys, the commissions will take into account everything, they will evaluate the person and his / her path ".
Thus the Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi at a videoforum of Corriere.it.
"The traces propose a reflection, it is important that - he added - children can carry out their thoughts by articulating them, it is important that they are able to argue a reflection, it is important to know how to structure thought; each word is basically a monument, beyond knowing a what an author or an event says. Fundamental is the ability to articulate thought well. Over 50 years ago I did a history essay on the Unification of Italy, I took 56 out of 60 ".
"In every narrative there is a piece of history if you are able to do it. A balanced reform has been made that we have followed, but they are tools for a narration that must be personal, to express oneself," continued Bianchi.
"Quiet guys, before writing think about it, do the schemes first: the logical coherence of thought counts, the ability to put thoughts on the paper. your teachers are ready to accompany you in this phase of life; they are above all educators. To parents and family I say: rest assured, support the children in this important step in life ", concluded the minister.
