STUDENTS BOCCIANO VALDITARA: “MATURITY IS A RETURN TO THE PAST”
The young people of the middle school students’ network reject the maturity model proposed by the Minister of Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara. In front of the ministry headquarters in Viale Trastevere, young people have gathered in a sit-in to ask for a fairer exam. The one proposed – the students say – does not value and does not correctly evaluate the path of boys and girls. The new exam announced is “a return to the past”: to the pre-Covid modalities, with two written tests and an oral interview. “Once again decisions are made on the skin of students without consulting them – declares the spokesman of the association Giorgio Garratta – We need to start a serious discussion, continues Garratta, if the minister tells us that there is no time to imagine a state exam, then we come here and show him that there is time for a concrete proposal of how to structure the maturity in a different way from the one he asks of us”. What do male and female students propose instead? “A different teaching and an exam that is truly the conclusion of a path, which must form and build critical thinking”.
STUDENTS AND WORKERS IN THE SQUARE AGAINST PCTO
Tomorrow, January 21, one year after the death of Lorenzo Parelli, an 18-year-old student who died during an internship, the Lazio High School Network and the FIOM CGIL Rome and Lazio will be present at the Ministry of Education to ask for the abolition of the PCTOs in favor of a rethinking of the relationship between school and work. In fact, last year, three young people lost their lives during a training period: Lorenzo Parelli, Giuseppe Le Noci and Giuliano De Seta. Three boys aged between 16 and 18 died during school internships. Students, male and female workers will take to the streets to ask politics to summon them and seriously address the issue of PCTOs. “We believe we have to start afresh from three keywords: rights, safety, dignity – declares the Lazio Medi Student Network – Because it is not school that forces you to go to unsafe companies and which does not invest in laboratories. It is not work to be exploited, precarious and without any knowledge of one’s rights. It’s not school and it’s not work that kills “.
