“If it is agreed that foreigners assimilate on the fundamental values inscribed in the Constitution, this will happen more easily if the majority of classes are Italians, if they study Italian to a greater extent where they do not already know it well, if in schools teach Italian history, literature, art, music in depth, if the parents will also be involved in learning the Italian language and culture and if they will not live in separate communities. It is in this direction that we intend to move.” The Minister of Education and Merit writes it on X Giuseppe Valditarawhich after the controversy on the Pioltello schoolclosed for the end of Ramadan, seems to follow the line of Matteo Salvini. According to which “we need to put a cap on the number of foreign students in each class, for their protection and for the protection of all other children”.
“Those of Valditara are ramblings. The education minister is now acting as a megaphone for his party secretary, Matteo Salvini. This crusade against children with a migrant background is truly cloying. Instead of making propaganda, the government should indicate what the proposals are for scholastic inclusiveness”, states the democratic group leader in the culture commission of the chamber and school manager of the Democratic Party, Irene Manzi. “For example, strengthening the teaching of Italian as a language for foreigners, keeping schools open in the afternoon, supporting educational community projects. And, above all, listening to the world of school and taking advantage of the many positive experiences present in the country. The solution ghetto classes, with immigrant quotas defined in Viale Trastevere, is certainly not the solution”, he concludes.
