12 September 2020 Two days after the bell at the beginning of the school year, which for many students will ring on Monday 14, the Minister of Education, Lucia Azzolina, responds to the families on Corriere Tv.



"We cannot imagine the school as it was in the year previous: we are at the time of the coronavirus. I know we are asking families to make small sacrifices but we have to find the balance between going back to school by minimizing the risks and asking for sacrifices from families. The important thing is to go back to school knowing that it is a extraordinary year. But the school of the past years was not perfect. "



"It takes a little patience", said the head of Education in the Covid era "it has happened in recent years too", "the nominations from the rankings are being made these days".

As for the 70,000 additional teachers for the Covid emergency, "they will be appointed directly by the school administrators in the coming weeks. Nobody denies small problems: we are solving them in a very difficult period".



On the issue of 'fragile' students, that is, those who for health reasons may have difficulty returning to school in this time of pandemic, an ordinance is coming, now 'being examined by the Higher Council of Education.' The minister explained that "nothing prevents schools where there are equipment" from establishing links that allow students who are at home to connect to video, and "even those who simply have a cold" and therefore must stay at home. "If the school is ready and has the tools why not?

I believe that there is all the will to include the students "on the part of the school leaders.



Azzolina replied that she had received letters, messages and even poems from the students in view of the start of the school year." The students are very enthusiastic , they want to go back to school "," this year will be a new first day of school, different for everyone "with a" sense of hope and courage, and certain fears will be put aside. "



And on the ordinance of the governor of Piedmont which establishes that the temperature measurement should be done at school, replies that the ministry has decided for everyone that the measurement should be done at home by the parents, considering the order of the governor Cirio "untimely and inappropriate", "it is not clear why in Italy we must create confusion ".



" In these hours there are discussions between the government and President Cirio "and soon there will be a decision on the possible challenge of the government of the ordinance.
