Lamezia, Nucifero (Social Pact): “School inclusion is a central point on the agenda of political forces”

Lamezia Terme – All together without political colors and flags united by the collective desire to build step by step the freedom, autonomy and independence of students regardless of their functional diversity and nationality”. This is what Fernando Nucifero, lawyer and teacher at secondary schools, states – director and compact education manager of the Lamezzo civic movement Patto Sociale.

“For whom, his note continues, inclusion must be a central point of the agenda of the political forces who must circle around the delicate topic without distinctions of belonging by promoting massive investments directed at the construction of new and innovative buildings and adequate renovations of existing ones to address the structural deficiencies of schools scattered across the national territory of all levels, guaranteeing children better educational and environmental opportunities to realize their personal talents also with a view to a future job or continuation of studies university students”.

“It is, in fact, in the common spaces – he recalls – that the students learn, dialogue, compare and get to know each other, making small and important friendships by reaching out to their more fragile classmates who, with their resources and abilities, reciprocate by in turn transmitting courage, joy, sweetness and unique emotion. An inclusive context – concludes Nucifero – which, therefore, is essential to facilitate the cognitive and relational development of students and which must constitute the cornerstone of our school system as an educating and welcoming community in which individual and social growth paths take place. In this direction, therefore, the various actions planned by the municipal administration of Lamezia Terme relating to the reconstruction of the structures pertaining to it are welcome, such as the modernization works of the Maggiore – Perri school building and the demolition and reconstruction from scratch of the complex in via delle Rose, belonging to the Nicotera – Costabile Comprehensive Institute of Sambiase, which confirm, he concludes, the attention and sensitivity of the local government towards the world of school and towards inclusion already demonstrated on several occasions as well as the high capacity of neutralize and optimally use resources by using them in collective goods and services of primary importance for citizens”.
