The OECD data are very clear: to end the crisis must invest on education, we reiterate that concept for years and now find confirmation on concrete data that can not be reversed by Gelmini, although obviously we are trying.
The media campaign that this government is bringing with is now being dismantled in every facet: it is true that in times of crisis you can not help but cut education, is not it wrong to demand that more resources, it is true that in other European countries, governments are taking these measures.
cut to € 8 billion public school, as if it were a company in financial distress, means to cut off all hope of recovery from the crisis for our country and cut off all expectations of our future students.
We demand a quality school, but of true quality, that allows us to keep up with our peers in Europe and with an increasingly precarious world of work and globalized.
What we find instead are a lot of slogans, a careless use of the words merit and quality, then the reality of our schools is reflected in lack of funds, teaching methods and training firm 50 years ago, early school leavers to the stars .
The reality is that the sham reform Gelmini is on the wrong side, and that until we will be bringing up the rear in terms of education spending relative to GDP, even back to Brazil and Estonia, there is little to celebrate.
