The "reform" and its problems

We wrote a few days ago to our e-mail a mother of a child who will attend the primary school next year and it has exposed a problem, then happily resolved, that has arisen under the new rules governing public school. This confirms what we have been saying for months about the destructive capacity of new school organization. The lady has kindly consented, and we thank you, to publish its message, so that other parents may realize the harmful consequences of so-called "reform" (read less schools and less money).


Hi,

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF EDUCATION MINISTERIAL REGULATION Mouth

The National Council of Education is a body founded in 1974. Has as its mission is to provide professional and technical advice to the minister, sometimes at the request of the Minister, other times because obliged to do so. President is the Minister of Education, and consists of 74 directors, the majority elected by the various categories of school personnel
The Council debunks the regulation under which the Minister intends to reorganize the school and the first cycle. Not hard to believe. The preamble of the opinion is written that, already in November 2008, after the approval of the basic laws of "counter-reform" Gelmini (No. 133 and No. 169) had expressed "strong concern and disagreement still on the choices that, if confirmed, will ... a deconstruction quantititiva and quality of training. " The Council had asked for this "a thorough review of actions taken from what was planned for primary schools with the introduction of the teacher and the only time of 24 hours per week." With the opinion, to whom he gives a summary, it was confirmed and deepened this trend. Who wants the full text can download by right-clicking on the link in the Documents section of the file. The opinion was expressed that it is "mandatory" because the government had to request it, but unfortunately it is not "binding" that is not binding on the department to adapt to it. The Ministry of Destruction said: "The Cnpi is a purely consultative body to act, and shall never be welcomed a reform school because he is a conservative body which seeks to defend the status quo." He adds, "we must review its composition, reforming it to make it less political and trade union do its part by increasing but the technical nature of its opinions." Translated that means you want to create a committee of experts ready to assent to any rule that "Daggers" is still the public schools.

Opinion of the National Council of Education on the draft regulation on the revision of the organizational and teaching in kindergarten and first cycle education

Ministry of Education, University and Research - Department
Directorate General for Education for the Ordinances of the National System of Education and school autonomy - Secretary of the National Council of Education

Assembly of February 12, 2009

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF EDUCATION

expresses its opinion as follows:

school autonomy
With a route that gives the autonomous schools prerogatives with regard to flexibility, and compensatory interventions in support of excellence, are open structural measures that severely limit the same autonomy. E 'expected, in fact, the zero on the satisfaction and indeed of all forms of use of various tasks from the teaching staff in the front. A choice that the school not only impacts heavily on the quality of training, but undermines the role and design skills of the college professors who could to date rely on the use of staff to make the school the opportunities mentioned above.

Application of structures regulated directions
The planned structural changes are significant and involve, in primary and secondary levels, even classes after the first, beyond the provisions of law . Not taking into account: the choices of organizational and teaching school, the choices already made by the families, the practice of a gradual implementation of changes to regulated directions, it makes a complete dismantling of school organization in place.

Consistent with the work of the Committees horizontal addition to the considerations expressed in the introduction, the following are the observations and findings that emerged in those locations.

Committee Landscape Nursery
The Committee also complains that the revival of the advance if it recognizes a key constraint in the primary legislation. That challenge comes primarily from the consideration that does not respect the right of children to have secured educational environments "designed" for their age, then for reasons of pedagogy as the advance is likely to affect the identity of the cultural and educational Italian kindergarten, valid for consolidated global summits. The Committee also previous experiences are not positive on the advance and , rather it should be noted that the management of the institution of the advance has been left to the exclusive request of the families thus causing a negative impact on quality of training.

As to the timing of operation of the kindergarten COSMAT welcomes that the time of operation remains subject to the rules above, and therefore retains co-ownership model for teachers in at least 40 hours per week. This form of operation permits simultaneous actions of teachers more strategically useful, especially in the context of today who see a thick and generalized complexity in the life of the sections. This mode allows an adequate educational provision and implementation of an organizational model that meets the different, diverse and specific educational needs of children in this age group.

To ensure quality education in kindergarten is an essential reference to: - number of children for a section that does not exceed 25 units - a contemporary of the teachers ensured in every model of operation - adequate space need for safe movement of children from three to six years - a school environment made functional learning - supporting in-service training.

The educational project proposed by the school must take account of these indicators and must also be able to take advantage of the resources necessary for its realization. The organization of school-time model based on 40 hours per week-is already the most popular with families, but also the most functional to ensure that the school time could become an "education day". For these reasons, the Committee believes that this working model should be proposed as the "preferred model" for higher-yielding pedagogical-didactic.

Landscape Committee Primary School
With the devices are provided "exceeds the previous spatial form and the coexistence. " The Regulations replace, even during the transitional phase after the first classes, the lecturers despite delegating laws do not provide such a solution deconstructing educational models in place. The Regulation is silent, however, the criteria for the determination of staff to "meet the timetable of educational activities" for classes that will not work on the model of "single master".

In replacing the previous stance that it interferes with the autonomy of educational institutions. In fact, the model provided by a class teacher and working for 24 hours per week, that the law 169/08 provided only as a way of organizing classes for the first, offers the choice of families, it becomes, immediately, "the model" of public school. This will make residual other models, except for full time. This could take 27 or 30 hours per week were subjected to availability of staff despite the current demand for school time remains for 93.4% of the classes called "a module" with a time less than 30 hours per week .

The claim that the classes after the first "... continue to work according to the model schedule in place" but "without needing "compromise essentially changing the rules and abandoning a well-established practice of gradual implementation of the changes regulated directions, the ability of the pupils concerned to complete their course of study based on the choices made in the same boot, eroding the principle of continuity.

The removal of co-hours / contemporary is a drastic worsening of the offer, organizational flexibility and induces a compensatory search for resources outside the school setting is not always guaranteed and which produce further differentiation of the training.

The organization of full-time as envisaged in paragraph 7 of Article 4 has strong structural limitations: the cancellation of presence and their transformation into organic institution that reorganizes the offer of this organizational model based on co-ownership of two teachers per class who share the educational interventions.

CONCLUSIONS
The National Council of Education strongly criticizes the choice of underlying fund of order because it is inconsistent with the rights of the autonomous schools, injured on the principles governing the educational autonomy, organization, research, testing and development.
The Council notes that the Rules, envisage a wide range of times in school, can feed the family expectations, in the absence of appropriate and related resources, can hardly be fulfilled putting the school in the difficult position of having to reorient and reorganize the choices on offer.
The Council considers, finally, that the issues raised up a training framework that:
- compromises the effectiveness of training in kindergarten and the first cycle of education,
- affects the dignity public educational institution,
- not offer equal opportunity and choice throughout the country.

THE MINISTRY OF DESTRUCTION 2: LESS MONEY FOR SCHOOL

action is twofold: on the one hand, reduce the hours of instruction, the other reduces the public money needed to live the public school. For example, as in from the "Corriere di Maremma", reduces resources for substitutes and is bound to increase the cost of medical examinations. Result: The public school does not work, and you believe because you do not want to work. There's the money? Among the many possible waste to be cut, you know that Italy has the world record for blue car? They are well 607,918 (from a study of Contribuenti.it). The second country in the world ranking are the United States, which have only 75,000. Followed by France with 64,000, with 55,000 United Kingdom and Germany with 53,000. We have over ten times more than the blue car most European countries. We cut this expense by 90% and give the savings to schools. Savings on wastage of state could take a more dignified life in the public school system. Even more simply, it is sufficient that the Ministry of Education would pay its debts to the Italian schools. But even that seems difficult.

"Corriere di Maremma" of March 24, 2009
alternates, Dean in revolt. "NO MONEY FOR THE REPLACEMENTS"
The protest is spreading throughout Italy

no money for substitutes. But even those are scarce for tax survey. School Heads denounce the risk of "financial distress" . The first protests of Lombardy and Emilia principals go back to last January. Today we add those from Marche, Sardinia and Sicily. But for the Minister of Education, Mariastella Gelmini, called into question by a recent parliamentary question, there was a decrease in resources, on the contrary they have been increased. But what does complain, then, secretaries and school heads? In a letter to the ministry a few days ago, including 70 heads and directors of administrative services (former secretary) of the province of Ancona "indicate the serious hardship of all the institutions of the territory. " The schools have a huge credit from Viale Trastevere and budgets have been forced to pack up for virtual money. The association of independent schools in Sicily (Asas) estimated 1.6 billion euro in the consideration that the minister has yet to schools .
While a few days ago the director of the Regional School of Sardinia, Armando Pietrella, wrote to the ministry to continue "reports from educational institutions that highlight the serious situation due to lack of funds for substitutes." But we can not do anything, calling on head teachers to nominate the same Sardinian alternates. The This year the ministry will allocate a fixed budget to schools in relation to units of staff in service increased by up to 50%. But the schools have only received advances. To give an idea of \u200b\u200bthe cut made in the last 5 years just look at some figures. For substitutions alone in 2004 were 899 million allocated in 2008 are around 323 . Maria Rita teaches at an elementary school in the province of Rome. "In my school-explanation does not appoint more alternates between 15 days and we are in disarray: the classes are split at the expense of small schoolchildren , moving from class to class as parcel post."
addition to the cuts schools have cope with the effects of the decree against the idlers Brunetta, which includes visits to tax even for a day of illness. Who pays? The National Health Service presents the bill to schools, however, do not make it any more. "Help us to manage the school within the law" written 17 headmasters of Bergamo. School heads are at a crossroads: "For almost all the funds available to pay the tax and visits to paralyze the life of institutions, or break the law and have only a small part of the investigation or not to pay the local health authorities." Last December, the center-right Mrs Daniela Melchiorre Brunetta asked who should pay the tax hits. "The question is in the process of investigation," said the minister.

THE MINISTRY OF DESTRUCTION 1: LESS TIME FOR ALL SCHOOL

Let saying for months that the school has gradually and deliberately stifled by rules of "reform" have only a nickname. The press gives an account of the deteriorating situation. Here's an article taken from the weekly "Il Corriere della Scuola" on the choice of parents on the new primary school next year. Almost all parents want a school with a "time appropriate for their children, but the government only has money for a" close time ", good effort to teach the ABC but not to increase the knowledge and in the future the critical and creative pupils and future adults. And 'this is the real reform which aims: less education and knowledge means more power for individuals to manage for a few.

"Corriere di Maremma" of March 17, 2009
FAMILIES CHOOSE THE 30 HOURS. BUT NOT ENOUGH MONEY
New requests will not be able to settle out of ten

or the government, to accommodate mothers and fathers of elementary school, give up the economies of expenditure provided by the Budget, or the Italian families will not be granted. Figures released last week by the Ministry of Education on the choices regarding primary school are clear: nine out of ten families will not have the required 30 hours per week enrollment. Unless the government does not alter the criteria on the training of staff of the school staff already agreed with the Ministry of Economy. In short, a mess.
24 to 27 hours in first grade, consider the model for the future, they got from their parents, only 10% of the vote. The vast majority chose the current model at 30 hours (56%) or the full time of 40 hours (34%) . But how many will be satisfied in September? Definitely a few, as the ministry has already written in black and white that the workforce for the first classes will be calculated based on 27 hours a week. Consequently, classes to 30 hours that you can turn depend on the savings achieved through training classes to 24 hours. In essence, according to data of Viale Trastevere, up almost 294 000 families have applied for a school time of 30 hours per week may be less than settle 16 000. What will the 278 000 families who will appioppare a different time than required?
But that is not even that can be catered for those who have chosen 24 to 27 hours . In Italy there are 16 000 primary school complexes and were about 16 000 families who have opted for 24 hours on average a child whole. While families that have requested 27 hours are 36 000: a little over 2 children, on balance, for each complex. The rules for the formation of classes, however, are limited to: must have at least ten children per class. Even those who have given credit to September will find themselves in difficulty is likely to change their proposed complex or time to settle for another model. Unless, to please moms and dads, the executive decides to change course. And to re-open their wallets.

Robbie Williams (AP) "It's not a crime to download (download is not a crime): the words of Billy Bragg, English folk singer who remember since the days of Thatcher for their political commitment and speaking on behalf of the 140 British bands and musicians of the Featured Artists Coalition, founded with the intent to take a position independent of the changes in music distribution at the time of the Internet and the willingness to fight the overwhelming power of the majors.

The appeal is also addressed to the Minister of Communications British Lord Carter, who had brought severe penalties for downloaders: According to British artists is not the time to criminalize consumers and would be the case that sites like MySpace or Youtube paid the bands when they use their music for advertising, while it is right to give free music to their fans through YouTube and other services.

"America, now is not the time for small projects. Now is the time to finally meet our moral obligation to provide every child the best education system, because it will not take nothing less to compete in the global economy. Michelle and I are only here tonight because we were given the opportunity of an education. And do not settle for an America where some kids do not have the chance I had. I want to invest in early childhood and education. I want to recruit an army of new teachers and pay them higher salaries and give them more support. And in return, I ask you to higher standards and more accountability. We want to keep our promise to every young American. If every young person is committed to serving the community or country, we will ensure that you can afford a college education. "
