Rome, 24 Sept. (LaPresse) – “The outcome of today’s Council of Ministers meeting confirms that the Meloni government is living on another planet compared to the real world.” So said PD secretary Elly Schlein. At the moment, Italian families are worried about the condition of school buildings – with 68 collapses and 80,000 accidents in the last year alone – and about the more than 500 euros they have to spend on textbooks, whilst Italian teachers’ salaries remain amongst the lowest in Europe,” she added. “Faced with all this, the government’s response is to expel foreign children from classrooms. But who do they think they’re fooling? After four years of cuts and no serious investment in school buildings, they’re concocting a new witch-hunt at the expense of the youngest children, singling them out as targets. It is a shameful decree, which attempts to hide the government’s inability to provide solutions to the concrete problems facing state schools behind a new ideological banner. ‘School is open to all, as our Constitution states.’
