What Kind Of Engineer Builds Things

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.
