“We have never invested resources invested in Italian school construction and in Calabria. Only in Calabria 820 million euros. We are transforming Italian school construction. 25% of schools are affected by renovation and redevelopment courses ». This was stated by the Minister of Public Education and Merit Giuseppe Valditara that this morning visited the Borrello-Fiorentino Comprehensive Institute in Lamezia Terme. The minister underlined “the excellent use of PNRR funds not only here but in many schools” by adding that “the extraordinary results that many schools are obtaining are also due to the South Agenda which in Calabria has proven to work a lot, very well”.
“Today – he said in his speech – it is a moment of great satisfaction because something beautiful has been done here for this land: a border school has turned into a pole of innovation. I appreciated, for example, the ability to open this school to the territory, open the library to the territory. But I really appreciated the ability to unite past and present. I want to underline the success of Latin lessons. Not only extraordinary results, but also a growth in the ability of young people and students to express themselves correctly with the Italian language. The Latin study served to improve Italian performances ».
Valditara also underlined the “highly innovative experimentation” carried out in the school where “you have been able to perfectly combine art and scientific subjects. These guys – he added – I saw them passionate, full of curiosity, of desire to learn. All this gives me the meaning of beauty, of the future, of growth. And they are three extraordinarily important words. Beauty, and on the other hand Calabria is one of the great lands of Italian beauty, the future, growth ». “The future – concluded Valditara – that we must ensure to every young man, enhancing his talents. Here there are many young people, not only Italians but who also come from afar. But I saw them participate in a community. This is also an important concept, the community, knowing how to work together around strong values ». The visit opened with the execution of the National National Netty by the choir and orchestra of the Nicotera Costabile Comprehensive Institute. So the minister visited the school, the workshops and entertained himself with the students.
