School reform, point by point, the bet Grillo-Giannini – The Republic

School reform, point by point, the bet Grillo-Giannini – The Republic

After
ads minister Giannini to the Rimini meeting yesterday and advances interview with Republic , the people of the school is anxiously waiting for the latest announcements for next Friday by Prime Minister Renzi. The professors glimpsed the “specter” of merit while the precarious afraid of the bogeyman of a review of the entire mechanism for the allocation of substitutions that could spazzarne away a big chunk. But not only that schools will be more autonomous and will be revisited and skills programs. Half a revolution. In recent days, the president of the board was limited to tweet that “the 29 guidelines of the school. Because in 10 years Italy will be like the teachers do today. #agosto We work on this in”.

And down a deluge of rumors and anticipations which will end only in three days, when Renzi explain the intentions of the executive. In recent months, the Minister and the Secretary Giannini Reggi, several issues were anticipated. Some of them, such as increasing the working time of teachers or the elimination of insecurity, they put in subbugliodocenti, students and families. Exactly the three persons to whom – in the statements – the government asks the maximum contribution. But about what you are working on?

CARD: THE TEN POINTS OF THE REFORM

Merit. The government is willing to engage teachers’ salaries to some form of merit or career. But it does not seem feasible at the time of the tripartite division of the class in experienced teachers, and ordinary senior. To do this, say the unions compact, we need a new contract. But they lack the resources. And, probably, the government will fall back on some formula incentive for those who want to take on more tasks, in addition to teaching, resulting in a lengthening of working hours. A model that, in substance, is already in place in the school autonomy. Another game is to upgrade. So far, it is updated only those who, at their own expense, he wanted to do. In the future, retraining may be required and the salary may be docked to the measurement of how much the teacher can do to improve the performance of the pupils.

Insecurity. That alternate looks like a bomb. Although it is true that, involving a large portion of the 160 thousand precarious historians, any organic functional – a certain number of teachers for a network of 4-5 schools in the same order – to cover all the needs of teaching – teaching hours and substitutes – can make the dead come back to life continuity of teaching and ensure stability of the teaching now forgotten, it is also true that the 400 thousand alternate school could probably say goodbye to teaching. An operation for nothing painless.

Hours of instruction. The idea of ​​increasing to 24 hours teaching time teacher of middle and high school waned with the Government Monti. And to increase the hours of service up to 36 opre week, announced by the Secretary Roberto Reggi, do not seem to be viable without financial consideration. And, for the moment, the idea was shelved even by Renzi and Giannini.

Autonomy.
To revive the school, the government also wants to operate the lever of autonomy, extending the boundaries. Currently, schools can model its training using the dimensions of autonomy envisaged by the reform Gelmini: 20 percent of annual hours. But, in fact, lack the resources – financial and human – to realize that the revolution could take off the Italian school. An increased share of flexibility of the curriculum could meet the needs of the territories as long as schools are put in a position to exploit it.
New Programs and new skills. The idea is to modernize teaching programs throughout the school curriculum, from elementary to higher education, with a twofold purpose: to brush up on unfinished “I” of Computer Science and English Berlusconi’s memory, to put our students in step with European peers , and create a closer link between the world of work and school. But, they warn trade unions, to do this we need to rewrite the national guidelines. It would be the fifth time in as many legislatures: Moratti, Fioroni, Gelmini, Carrozza and Giannini. A record. The duo Renzi-Giannini would also like to recover some disciplines – art history, geography and even the law – literally decimated by the reform Gelmini. But to do this you need to change curricula.
The private school. The Minister Giannini did not hide the government’s intentions to return on loans the playing field to actually make a free choice and equal ra state school by families. An intervention advocated for some time by the Catholic hierarchy to save in extremis private schools in the crisis of vocations.

The vocational schools. It is the weakest of the school with levels of early records. The road would follow the government is to strengthen the school-work to reduce those who leave school early and provide the market with the professionalism that even in times of crisis, companies can not find.

High School. It does not appear on the agenda of the Plan-school, suggests the minister Giannini, the reduction of higher schooling from five to four years. “Bring to a four-year cycle of secondary schools to equalize the age of leave school to that of many other countries can not be the result of a calculation from spendig review,” reiterates Giannini. “It will take a long time to make arrangements to our proposal, but we should not look to the coming months. Horizon is that of the next thirty years. Someone born today goes to school in 2018 and released in 2038 The school that we change now then arrive at your destination. “

maturity. It seems that the government is in the process of streamlining and modernizing maturity. With the entry of the reform Gelmini the miracle of Clil last year of high school: teaching a non-language subject – Math, Science, Art History, or otherwise – in a foreign language. While the state examination remains to be thought Berlinguer in 1997 and amended in 2007 by Fioroni Among the innovations possible revisiting of the third written test and extension of the Clil (Immersion) in the final interview.

Financing. Renzi speaks of a billion euro investment in the school. And ‘This is the figure that should support the new guidelines for school. A beautiful figure and, above all, a novelty for the last five years, in which he has always made economics teaching. But the figure announced by Renzi leaves lukewarm insiders. They are in fact many think that the billion of which we speak is the same waved for school construction. The premier, however, has exposed a lot this summer, and Friday we’ll know.
Quota 96. It does not seem that after the cold shower of the Decree on Public Administration – in which the ‘out of school for teachers in 2012 were 60 years of age and 36 service (or age 61 and 35 years of service) seemed a done deal – the Plan-school provides the answer to the question. And day 29 is expected to show just the 4 thousand blocked at school “by mistake” by the reform Fornero.
