The General Assembly of the United Nations in 1966 so said ... "The right of everyone to education that shall be directed to the full development of human personality and the sense of its dignity and strengthen respect for human rights and freedoms fundamental. The 'primary education shall be compulsory and available free to all ...". On the other hand, already in our Constitution, in perfect consistency with what our country has signed the UN headquarters in the states (especially in art. 3 and 34).
Something is wrong when in schools instead of Bari province and there are 5 thousand and 66 students with disabilities, compared to 2 thousand 964 people to support teachers and teacher if one is forced to follow up Three students with disabilities at the same time. Another observation is that Italy is the only state of the European community, where support staff are in the same staff of teachers, In the other EC countries depends directly on the Ministry of Health.
In September of this year hundreds of students with disabilities in the province of Bari have been deprived of their legitimate due to cuts in teachers Gelmini reform. Following the occurrence of this situation, the Angsa, the National Association autistic parents, he was forced to take action. The result has been the appointment of 188 teachers to support (a necessary front of over 500 estimates of the trade unions), and the calls started on October 12 and ended on the 25th of that month, after which the research staff will be left to individual head teachers.
The school is too expensive and the logic of saving at any cost is cut in the most vulnerable population, children and the sick, if we are sick and disabled children or better yet, neither the business logic, all 'inside of which has been plunged the school system, one can pose the problem that often a school for disabled children is the only form of integration and if you take away even this is over.
This unease is not confined to the territory of Bari, let alone the South in general. Just think, in fact, the conditions in which they are working school teachers Agnesi master of Milan, known for his efficiency and willingness to follow the students with disabilities. Here, the headmaster complained Giovanni Gaglio, the chairs of support are five less than last year despite the pupils with different diseases have not decreased. Still, Rita responds Garlaschielli, coordinator of disability, from this year have been granted by the regional chairs of support in more than 152. Evidently, however, this solution is not yet sufficient to cover the actual need. So a few days ago, the school of the Lombardy Regional Office gave the go-ahead for 554 more seats, but being exhausted rankings support of the teachers it was decided not to recruit temporary workers are specialized in creating direct to the disabled, of course, shock and alarm the parents of these children.
The situation is dire all over Italy and the collapse of the funds to demolish more than full time and extended, and to pay prevents making substitutions almost everywhere, with tens of thousands of overcrowded classes, which every day are left without teachers. Yet that would be enough money for the construction of the F35 (fighters) were hijacked on education, at least some, but evidently the political world has a different objective to destroy the common good and sense of community, and to impose everywhere the private sector. A trend apparently cuts across all areas of policy if the 2008 budget, which was launched by the Prodi government were allocated something like ... € 23 billion in military spending and today, despite the dances of the various coordination groups, trade unions and record as a shameful reality, the abandonment of the most vulnerable young people and their families in the name of the god market.
