There are about 20,000 classrooms that will have to be set up in alternative spaces to institutions in view of the start of the next school year. More than 50% of the spaces have not yet been found. The criticalities are patchy, but they are mostly recorded in big cities like Rome.

This is what the National Presidi Association reports according to the latest estimate made. In consideration of the data, the number of those who will have to take lessons in alternative places to their school would be updated to 400 thousand students, about 5% of the total.

'' The numbers are still improving - says the President of the PNA, Antonello Giannelli - Everyone is working to achieve the goal of bringing all the students back to class and I have no doubt that we will succeed ''. The greatest criticalities are expected for high schools, the most overcrowded - explains Mario Rusconi, president of the National Association of Headmasters of Rome and Lazio - we estimate that 20-30% will not be able to maintain the distance required by the safety protocol and therefore outdoor spaces will be needed. In Milan, for example, they are organizing mega-containers for lessons. In addition - he adds - schools will have to resort to distance learning: this means that in a class of 27 students, about twenty will teach in class and 5 in rotation will teach at a distance from home ''.

'' We foresee the greatest criticalities in the big cities of the center-south, also for the transport problem. In Lazio, for example - concludes Rusconi - there are already difficulties in providing for a greater number of bus rides in order to organize staggered entries ''.
