Alessandra Majolino, student of the Basile artistic high school, is the new president of the Messina provincial student council for the 2026/2027 school year. She was elected with 28 preferences out of 52 during the first plenary assembly, hosted by the Verona Trento Institute. Representative of the institute and of the Basile Council, exponent of the Morgana association, Majolino will lead the body that brings together the representatives of the students of the schools of the province, from the Nebrodi to the Ionian coast, including the city and the islands. The vice-presidency will be entrusted to Giorgio Bensaia, from the Liceo Archimede of Messina, who received 12 votes. The other candidates, Christian Mangano from Verona Trento and Irene Sergi from the Impallomeni Institute in Milazzo, close to the Student Network, obtained seven and five preferences respectively.
The priorities: schools, transport and participation
«I welcome this result with a great sense of responsibility, aware that representing the students of the entire province of Messina means taking charge of their needs, their aspirations and, above all, the battles that animate our schools every day», declared the new president, thanking the representatives who supported her and the Morgana association.
School buildings, transport, right to education and training opportunities are the topics indicated for the mandate. The objective is to make the Consulta «a space for participation, discussion and above all action, capable of transforming students’ requests into proposals and tangible results». Majolino also placed emphasis on the involvement of institutes from across the territory, from the Nebrodi to the Aeolian communities, from the Ionian to the Tyrrhenian coast. «Geographical distance cannot and must not become distance from student representation and politics», he underlined, indicating as a priority a Council present in the different school environments and capable of giving a voice to all students.
