Valditara: “Important for empowering children and restoring authority to teachers”
“The approval of the conduct evaluation reform in the Senate is good. It represents an important step forward in the construction of a school that empowers children and restores authority to teachers. Unlike those who speak of authoritarian and unnecessarily punitive measures, I support the choice to give the right weight to the conduct of students' academic career. I believe that in the case of acts of bullying it is not only useless but also harmful to keep the child away from school, left to do nothing. I am convinced that engaging in social activities is much more constructive, because the student can analyze and understand the reasons for their inappropriate behavior.
Being part of a community entails rights and duties, including respect for teachers, one's classmates and public goods. It is also important that those who have attacked school staff compensate the school for the damage to its image that they have contributed to creating. To build a truly democratic society, to fight violence, to restore centrality to the founding values of our Constitution, we must start again from school, every day on the front line in the education of our young people. We are doing it”, declares the Minister of Education and Merit Giuseppe Valditara.
