21 November 2019 "We will abolish the envelopes. We will keep the materials but the envelopes will be eliminated". The Minister of Education, Lorenzo Fioramonti, announced this in a preview in Skuola.net during a videochat with the student portal, saying he had just signed a circular that will bring new changes to the 2020 State exam.

"We do not want the state exam to be a source of stress - Fioramonti continued - This is not good for anyone. Students must take a proud examination of their own preparation. We do not want any pitfalls".

"The commission will keep a series of materials that will be used to start the exam. But, instead of drawing it like a lottery, you will first know what the chosen topics will be. They will be proposed to the students to start the oral exam. Those materials will be available to students before the talks begin, "the minister said.

By suppressing envelopes, an "element of further nervousness that was created around this lottery" is lost. And "there will be a more transparent, more coordinated system, which reassures the commission and puts the student at ease". "I do not want the state exam to become a race to the massacre. Students must know that the only thing they need is preparation. The state exam is a moment of confrontation and evaluation and not a roulette. We are not at the Casino ", concluded Fioramonti.

The theme of history
"The historical theme will be reintroduced in the first written test of the Maturity exam", the Education Minister confirmed during the videochat with the portal Skuola.net. "I wanted to listen to the voice of the teachers", he underlined, pointing out that the theme of history "will be in the second typology of tracks, necessarily as one of the options". "There will be no other changes to maturity," he assured, explaining that "the official decree with the materials and whatever else will come out as usual at the beginning of the year". "My idea of ​​school is not to change but to maintain. I wanted to maintain the general structure of the exam. We avoid that every minister who sits in the ministry changes anything."
