The school has already entered a new phase in terms of the health emergency. The new ministerial provisions that came into force on April 1st do not certify it so much (unvaccinated teachers can return to school after having a swab, but not in contact with students. The Green pass is no longer needed to access various services or the non-reinforced one is enough. , but there remains an extensive obligation to wear a mask) as well as the fact that after more than two years the educational visits, the “school trips” have resumed.
“It is a decision – observes the director of the institute for surveyors Nervi and the professional Bellini of Novara, Leonardo Brunetto – effect of the new situation that has been created in schools in recent weeks: the number of positive students and teachers has dropped drastically, and above all it is almost all asymptomatic people, the serious cases have disappeared. So we are deliberating the educational visits for the fourth and fifth and for May we are organizing the fashion show ».
In some cases the trips have already been made, as for the Carlo Alberto high school boarding school: «We have had classes – explains the principal Nicola Fonzo – who have gone to Naples and Rome, and others leave in recent days to other destinations. For the rest we have kept the separate entry and exit paths, temperature control, spacers and bezels. As for the evolution of positivity, they steadily decreased until a few days ago, then there was a week of increase followed by stabilization ». Visits to the Antonelli scientific high school are also in the planning stage. The principal Silvana Romeo says: «Among the destinations there will be Pisa, Mantua and Sabbioneta, Rome and Florence. Then some classes will return to the theater in Milan. After two years, kids need to return to relationships, and education visits are an essential educational moment. The new provisions are facilitating a gradual return to normality, although controls need to be maintained. The cases of positivity were only two in the last week, both asymptomatic “.
For now, the head of Mossotti, Barbara Maduli, is going with lead feet on trips: «We have evaluated the problem well – she comments – and for this year we have decided to make only one day outings. There are fewer risks and they are in any case a step forward towards normality ».
The provisions in force on April 1, however, entail some problems for schools, as stressed by the head of Omar, Franco Ticozzi: “If a teacher who is not vaccinated returns in April, what should I do with those who have replaced him for almost all the year? And since he can’t get in touch with the students, what happens? What duties should he perform? Fortunately, I run a very large institute where there are a thousand things to do and therefore there is no shortage of work for those who arrive after months of absence because they are not vaccinated, but it seems to me a bizarre measure, taken by those who are a thousand miles away from the real world of school. “. –
