Controversy over School Consolidation Measures in Rome

"A motion on school sizing was voted on today in the Chamber in Rome to request the suspension of the measure adopted by the Lazio Region, which envisages the merger and suppression of some school institutions in Rome and its province. This is a wrong choice that does not take into account the specificities of the territories, with consequent disservices and repercussions on educational activity, as well as serious inconveniences for school staff and Roman families" explain from the Democratic Party. "We ask President Rocca to take a step back from an act that jeopardizes the education and future of our children". Last week as mayor of the Metropolitan City, Gualtieri already sent an official communication to the Lazio Region to request the suspension of any initiative on the theme of school sizing. "It's shameful - underline the democrats - to think of doing spending review on education, to the detriment of young people, families and teachers. For this reason, we will continue to support with all means the widespread protest from the presidents of the Municipality, mayors of the metropolitan municipalities, trade unions and representatives of the educating communities".
