MILAN (ITALPRESS) – “I do not see any problem, since the interlocution was very positive. I read in the newspapers very imaginative reconstructions, the changes were objectively very marginal.” This was said by the Minister of Education and Merit Giuseppe Valditara, on the margin of the visit to the FAES schools in Milan, talking about the examination by the Quirinale of the School Decree, which is expected today at the Colle. “The text is a very balanced text that favours integration, we said it immediately, and that it wants to counter the ghetto classes,” Valditara added.
“President Mattarella very appropriately spoke to the matrix about a school that knows how to integrate and contrast the ghetto classes. I would invite those who make polemics to go to read what ghetto classes mean, because otherwise we risk always overturning reality,” he said. “The ghetto classes are those that have a high concentration of immigrant students with situations of linguistic disadvantage and we want to avoid that there is the Alabama of the 1950s where there were schools for blacks and schools for whites,” the minister concluded.
“A little rash and also alarmist.” Valditara therefore replies to the mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala, who had launched the alarm on the risk that the roof of 30% of foreign students provided by the School decree can lead to the city not only at the closure of some classes, but also of some institutes. On the margin of a visit to the FAES schools in Milan, Valditara invited “to make a serious reasoning and understand how one can meet the needs of those foreign and Italian students and also of those teachers who are in conditions of objective difficulty”.
“The law – continues Valditara – is very balanced because it previews that where it is impossible to find schools of proximity there is an investment also full-bodied, more than 14 million euros per regime, therefore per year and forever, to enhance the study of the Italian language for those boys who will have to stay in classes that exceed 30%”. The minister also rejects the criticism of the oppositions, which spoke of “deportation” of the students. “In contrast to what the propaganda of oppositions in a totally irresponsible way is doing” speaking of “deportation”, Valditara emphasizes that “we don’t really deport anyone because it is simply a matter of leaving at the time of inscriptions, as it is very clear in the decree. So it is clear that if there is a formed class it is not that now you decide to dismember the class.” “It will come at the time of inscriptions,” the minister concludes.
On precarious: “In the school world are no more than 300 thousand, as I have already said on other occasions. I would like to stress that we have taken some 206,000 precarious from 2023 to 206,000 precarious from teachers and Ata staff. I don’t think – he added – that you find governments that have assumed so many teachers and staff Ata precari as we have done in recent years. We will continue to intervene because it is a theme that is particularly close to us.”.
