March 19, 2020 "I think we will go in the direction that President Conte said to extend the date of April 3 but in these days I invite everyone to the maximum responsibility. It is not possible to give another date for the" schools "opening. It all depends from the evolution of these days, from the epidemiological scenario. We will reopen schools only when we are sure of absolute security ". So the Minister of Education Lucia Azzolina at Skytg24.

Maturity measures will take into account difficulties
The minister added: "Certainly measures will be taken for students who have to take the state exams. The measures depend on how much schools are still closed. We are thinking about different possible scenarios; I appreciate both the documents and the consultations and the forum of the students have presented. Students show great maturity I will take them seriously. They will still be serious exams but they will have to keep in mind the very difficult moment that the students are going through ".

Extension of the school year depends on distance learning
The extension of the school year - Azzolina concluded - depends "on the outcome of distance learning. If it will work we don't need to extend the school year. It would be offensive to those who are doing so much in these weeks, among other things, by reassembling the community school ".
