The school has shown great reaction, there has been an acceleration in terms of technology that we must also accept for the future. The ministry has immediately implemented memoranda of understanding with public and private companies to support teaching and we have also involved Rai for programs dedicated to children. We have invested resources and given uniform indications to schools, also changing the way we communicate, issuing simple, clear notes and circulars. it is not called to replace face-to-face teaching, but it was a choice that we pursued with conviction at school she was not ready but now we have taken a step forward that will not be lost, "said the minister.
