“This year too, the usual shower of public money has arrived for the owners of private schools in our area. Governments change but the owners of these businesses continue to receive subsidies.” Thus the Teachers’ Guild of Parma and Piacenza, which explains: “The amount that the managers of private school activities collect this year is higher than that of last year, just over 7 million euros for the owners of private schools in Parma and approximately 2.3 million euros for their colleagues from Piacenza”. “A rain of millions – states the Guild – which as far as nursery schools are concerned is a double gift: politics deliberately avoids opening new state sections, effectively inducing citizens to become customers of private individuals, thus providing them with users who pay good money of fees and then also gives them rivers of our money.”
“Politics in our territory, as far as we are concerned, except for a few timid episodes, is not showing any sign of discontinuity with the past – comments Salvatore Pizzo, coordinator of the Teachers’ Guild of Parma and Piacenza – a reflection that the approximately 13,000 teachers of the two provinces will certainly do so when we have to vote soon.”
