Gelmini MIND

harsh response to the CGIL statement of the Minister on TV: "The teachers were exterminated, the funds in ten years fell from 259 to 88 million while those for equal doubled. And next year the ax will fall again Intravaia of SAVE, La repubblica.it

"Gelmini" turns the reality. "The public release of yesterday evening by the Minister of Education to show" Che tempo che fa ", conducted by Fabio Fazio, gives rise to the CGIL and multiplies the controversy about the school. The minister said three main things that teachers in Italy are too many and that the government is limited to contain organic plant teachers, janitors that there are more police and the schools are dirty; that the demonstrations in defense of public schools are not credible because protesters then send their children to equal.

"We are without words - says Mimmo Pantaleo, general secretary of the FLC CGIL - A minister without credibility and without shame, first Chairman of the Board defend when attacked by teachers and 'another is promoting the improvement of the quality of public schools. But what quality is talking Gelmini? blatantly contradict the data. " And down a long list of numbers. "From next year there will be 19 000 and 700 teachers and administrative 500 14 000 less, in addition to the sensational cuts of the last two years. Other than containment of the plant organs, as stated by the minister."

But the match also applies to equal funding, specifically mentioned by Prime Minister Berlusconi in recent weeks. "The political choices of the center-right government, in office almost continuously for 11 years, they put on the ropes the public school, depletion of funds, teachers and support staff, technical and administrative: 130 000 posts in less than three years," the CGIL. While funding for private schools increased from 297 million euro in 2000 to 528 in 2011. And state schools? Appropriations for the law 440/97, for the improvement of training, fell from 259 million in 2001 to almost 88 this year.

The same appropriations for educational and administrative operation of schools: 331 million in 2011 to 122 this year. The OECD data 2010, then - concludes Pantaleo - tell a different reality: Italy invests less in school, 4.5 percent in relation to the GDP compared to an average of 5.7 percent. And dis in research and public universities. The schools are in red and are forced to rely on voluntary contributions of families and while the school was languishing, the school enjoyed the private financing state almost unchanged.
