"Let's listen to the protest, let's get into the merits," he said yesterday. “We cannot carry out a school reform with the school against,” he reiterated today. Signs of opening from Prime Minister Matteo Renzi after the school strike, called yesterday to protest against the reform under discussion in Parliament. Today the Prime Minister, together with the Minister of Education Stefania Giannini, summoned the Pd parliamentarians of the Chamber and Senate of the competent commissions to the headquarters of the Democratic Party in Largo del Nazareno to develop the possible changes to the school bill, under discussion in the Culture Commission at Montecitorio.
During the meeting in particular, a possible change to the power of the principals was evaluated to choose professors. According to what is learned from parliamentary sources, the change could provide that teachers can apply for themselves and school principals conduct interviews to select them and then give reasons for their choice. “We are working – Minister Giannini explained at the end of the meeting – improving and integrating the text. However, there is no change of line, but the dialogue is open”.
“The prime minister, Matteo Renzi, said he was very careful and respectful towards the role of teachers who have to decide on the future of our children”. Thus the Pd parliamentarian and member of the Culture Commission in the Chamber, Claudia Piccoli Nardelli, at the end of the meeting on the school which took place at the Nazareno. Between today and tomorrow, a delegation from the Democratic Party led by President Matteo Orfini will meet at the Nazarene the trade unions, which responded positively to the government's openness, and the school associations.
