September 13, 2020 "School is the safest place: there are trained operators, distancing, there are masks, at the moment 94 million have been sent. They are being distributed in tranches. What other place outside the school has the same rules ? I appeal for the same rules to be used outside the school. "

Thus the Minister of Education, Lucia Azzolina.



The masks are there, they have been delivered to schools and "every student will find a mask on the desk" assures Lucia Azzolina.



For tomorrow morning "I am absolutely aware that what awaits us will be an extraordinary year, it is a difficult year. I am also certain that I have worked a lot. Not only me, but the whole school community, but also mayors and presidents of the provinces . The coronavirus risk cannot be eliminated, but it can be minimized, "he added.



"There is still some criticality, this is evident, no one wants to hide it. They have been there all the years. We are ready enough to guarantee a quality service to guarantee safety, knowing that zero risk does not exist but can be reduced", he added.



'' Moms will measure their fever at home.

It was a very thoughtful choice made by our Technical Scientific Committee of the Ministry of Health '', Azzolina also declared on the eve of the reopening of schools.       



'' Let's imagine a child has a fever.

It makes much more sense to take his temperature at home than to put him on a bus or in places where he could infect his companions.

All the more so if he were sick with Covid.

We have worked with a view to absolute prevention.

France also decided to take the temperature at home.

I trust Italian families ''.



"Being the Minister of Education is certainly tiring when there is no Covid, for me with Covid it was not easy. We are really doing our best, because we love school, we believe in school as a place for training and socializing. It is an honor to represent the ministry at this moment, albeit a difficult one in this country ".



"The school administrators asked us for 2.4 million desks: 2 million are the traditional ones and 450,000 are those with wheels. Some have already been delivered, now all the others are on delivery between here and the end of October" confirmed the minister. of Education. 



"The fact that there is no single desk does not mean that the school cannot start. Where the meter of distance is not guaranteed everyone will wear a mask", he adds.

"We have never invested in the banks in this country. The delay is twenty years, it is not ours. We started from the areas that have suffered the most".



Addressing the students during a TV broadcast, the minister said: "It is an extraordinary year, respect the rules and have courage so that your dreams can come true and do not let yourself go to selfishness or bullying; live the community to the fullest, regain possession of the sociality made more difficult. in recent months from the Coronavirus and keep alive the values ​​of legality ".
