06 April 2020Two hypotheses for the high school diploma and as many for the middle school exams, depending on whether you return to class on 18 May or do not return to school until September. And a plan for a recovery of schools with greater distancing in the classroom if there are still dangers related to Covid in the autumn. Lucia Azzolina spoke about it tonight at Che tempo che fa il Education Minister. On the possibility of a return to class that provides a greater distance between students, "is one of the many scenarios we are thinking about," he said answering a question from the conductor Fabio Fazio. "I think of the ancestral problem of the chicken coop classes where it is difficult to keep a distance of one meter. I and all the staff of the ministry, with the undersecretaries, will work on all possible scenarios". Meanwhile tomorrow, the Council of Ministers should launch the decree which prepares the end of the school year and the beginning of the new one in September. On the tests for maturity, the minister confirmed the hypotheses that circulated in recent days. There are two scenarios: if you return to school by May 18, there will be a national test of Italian managed by the MIUR and the second test will be prepared by the internal commission, to guarantee tests related to learning. "If we don't go back to school there will be only one oral test. I ask the students for responsibilities, they are the future of the country", the minister recommended. Students will all be admitted to maturity. Even for the third grade there are two different scenarios. If you do not return to the classroom by May 18, "the students will present a paper made with their teachers and will be scrutinized during the final ballot". "There will be an exam anyway. There are countries that have eliminated it, others have not," stressed the owner of the viale Trastevere department. Finally on whether or not to return to class before the end of this school year, the minister clarified: "It is not the Minister of Education who can determine when the virus ends. As long as there is no safety, the children will not return to class" . Of course, he clarified by answering one last question, "If there is definitely a risk, no," you don't go back to school. "I will listen to what the health authorities will say. The policy will be even more prudent and will take all the responsibilities: we will never, never, ever put students' lives at risk", he concluded.
