2,500 provided by the Ministry of unification, but the regions they are less than 10%
The commissioner of the Piedmont: "We do not anticipate the effects of the reforms. Better to wait "
Schools with fewer than 500 students
So the operation failed-cuts
Schools with fewer than 500 students failed to do so-cuts
ROME - Rejected, at least for the moment, the dictates of the government on rationalizing the school network. Faced with more than 2,500 schools with fewer than 500 pupils (considered undersized) regions have cut only 240: 14 out of a hundred, given the schools that can take advantage of the exemption up to 300 pupils. The 240 schools in less than 320 institutions resulting from the difference between suppressed and 80 adult education centers for the new institution. The situation, region by region, from the rooms of the ministry was leaked a few days ago and resize the purposes of the executive to cut more schools and complexes possible.
In Piedmont, for example, there are eight schools merged undersized even if those are a lot more. But because the regions continue to keep alive institutions that according to school autonomy should lose? "We have preferred to wait," said the commissioner for Education, Jane Pentenero. "Still - he adds - the reform of upper secondary school able to leave and do not even know what the impact of reform on primary and secondary levels." According to a 1998 decree schools should maintain a number of students between 500 and 900 pupils. With a derogation up to 300 students for comprehensive schools (of kindergarten, elementary and middle) in the municipalities of mountains and small islands.
Last October, a law required the regions to make in haste the size of the school: the total dismemberment and subsequent unification of complexes that allow you to return the number of pupils within the prescribed range. The regions of "breach" would be ousted from government commissioners to execute deeds, but according to the Constitution is the competence of regional governments. The blitz that created a political earthquake, with the regions that threatened the use of the Constitutional Court, that the government was forced to back down softening, in conversion of the decree, the formula of the categorical measure.
The operation is to cut jobs: by joining two schools skip a school administrator and a secretary. On 27 February, the Council of Ministers approved a decree that provides for the withdrawal of school autonomy in relation to 700 institutions with fewer than 300 pupils. But, according to data provided by Flc CGIL, in different Italian regions (Sardinia, Puglia, Marche and Emilia Romagna, Lombardy and Friuli) the size did not produce tangible effects. In other regions such as Sicily, suppressed the number of schools is negligible: only 27. Positions of janitor to mop the executive administrative assistant and plans to suppress part of the complexes with fewer than 50 students. "At this point - Pentenero says - we are very critical: remove the school in small towns can determine their depopulation."
