Liguria has been allocated by the Ministry of Education just under 5 million euros (4 million 929 thousand 457.54 euros to be precise) that the Region has allocated to various Municipalities. The regional council has in fact approved the 2024 programming of the ‘National Fund for the integrated system of education and instruction services’ with the aim of promoting, consolidating and strengthening the integrated education and instruction system from birth to six years of age.
The funds can be used to finance the following types of intervention:
- New constructions, building renovation, restoration and conservative redevelopment, functional and aesthetic redevelopment, mechanical and fire safety, energy saving and usability of buildings owned by public administrations.
- Share of the management costs of educational services for children and nursery schools, taking into account their costs and their qualification.
- Continuous in-service training of educational and teaching staff, in accordance with the provisions of the National Training Plan, and the promotion of territorial pedagogical coordination, for which the approved regional programming provides a specific allocation of €221,825.59. Finally, this intervention provides for a quota of €788,713.21 to be paid directly to accredited private early childhood socio-educational services, to spring sections and to private parity schools, calculated proportionally to the number of children attending each branch of the integrated system.
“We continue to support the Ligurian municipalities with funds that can concretely improve their network of educational services – declares the school councilor Simona Ferro -. This is a complex programme, the result of joint work, which aims to leave no one behind guaranteeing, and strengthening where lacking, adequate safeguards for all children aged 0 to 6 in our region”.
“Through this measure we intend to concretely guarantee greater safety and quality of the structures that host children from 0 to 6 years old and promote their educational path – underlines the regional councilor for Building Marco Scajola -. These are expected and necessary interventions that will certainly give an important contribution to the Municipalities in the path of improving the Ligurian school system. From 2015 to today, as the Liguria Region, we have invested over 200 million euros to carry out more than 500 interventions”.
“With this act, we will strengthen the integrated system of services for children in our region – explains the Councilor for Social and Health Policies Giacomo Giampedrone -. Consolidating and strengthening the services dedicated to children means not only investing in our future, but also offering our children and their families quality educational support that can also respond effectively and more widely to the needs of reconciling work and private life”.
