ROME (ITALPRESS) – “We need to send a clear signal for everyone to use appropriate language so that the culture of respect, the culture of nonviolence, friendship, and smiles are taught in schools.” This was stated by the Minister of Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara, in an interview with Corriere Group editor Sergio Casagrande, which will be published tomorrow morning on the front page of the newspapers Corriere dell’Umbria, Corriere di Arezzo and Corriere di Siena. In the interview, the minister also goes into detail about the experimentation of campuses that will be created for high school students for which the ministry has already allocated 100 million euros. One of these campuses, Valditara announces, will rise in Umbria and “will bring together technical-professional education, vocational training, companies, universities and possibly also high schools.” “The goal,” he explains to the Corriere dell’Umbria, “is to create a dialogue between private and public and between the various training chains that can use the distinct experiences, laboratories, and didactics with a common factor at the base, that of the skills and experiences of business, university, Its, technical institution, and vocational education and training. In the interview, the minister also addresses the regional elections in Umbria and answers other questions about teaching and training. Speaking of measures taken to prevent bullying in schools, damage and cases of violence, Valditara notes that “if there is someone who attacks or offends a teacher, or if there is someone who attacks a fellow student, the principle of individual responsibility must come into play.” “I’m sorry,” Valditara says in the interview, “that there is a certain left, along with the CGIL, that considers this position authoritarian, liberticidal, even as a form of militarization of the school: instead, it is important to emphasize, even in the school world, that those who err must pay and those who break, destroying public property for example, must pay. It means valuing individual responsibility.”
