This money is provided to purchase both textbooks (both paper and digital, dictionaries, fiction books, including in foreign languages, recommended by schools) and digital teaching aids including software (programs and operating systems for school use), USB sticks, printers, notebooks and tablets.

This right, too often underestimated, underlines the importance of a truly inclusive society which, as institutions, we have the duty to guarantee with interventions like this which also contribute to reducing the burden of the cost of living that weighs on families”.
