SCHOOL AND SUBSTANCE. The battle of the minister Gelmini.
Joseph Caliceti from The Manifesto of 09/12/2010
While the battle cry of "Responsible! Merit, "is also ripped apart the Italian university, some schools start trials of excellence. On 19 November the Minister for Education said: "It's a historic day. Finally we begin to evaluate teachers and schools on the basis of merit. So the best prizes. " What is this? A first draft intends to evaluate the best among all the schools in the province of Pisa and Syracuse, a second in Naples and Turin. How? Meanwhile, the yardsticks are inevitably based only on the pupils, not on their education and skills. No account is taken of the preconditions of the students before the readings. This will create a final ranking of the schools regardless of the social fabric in which they appear. There is a strong risk of self assessment: judging the school staff is in fact above all other school staff. Again: it is not clear what is the assessment of students and parents of students.
The award of merit is likely to go to teachers who ingratiates better president, given that the assessment committee is not independent. Then entrust the Chairman of the Council of the Institute, the figure also elected by the independent prosecutor? In doing so, however, the commission, which would guarantee of competence? In a primary school teachers have more or less the same studies, but in high school?
The variety of disciplines would not guarantee the expression of an evaluation committee to the task, since the teacher does not know letters to assess the curriculum of a collegadi Chemistry or English. But it is interesting to note that in this way, school competition, introduced the concept of autonomy, a cornerstone of the Democratic Party, which produce more quality in the sense of an optimal development of cognitive abilities of boys and miglioramentodel them feel good at school produces first competition best companies, hunting for sponsors rivalries, instead of collegiality among teachers. Finally, the premium for teachers that would be more deserving, let's face it, is ridiculous: one month per year, equivalent to about 4 € per day. So much so that many teachers invite colleagues to reject the tender AlmerÃa to 4 euro for respecting those who live in precarious employment school. For schools forced yet to buy toilet paper with the money of students' parents. And remembering that funds to reward the best are the ones alleged recovered cuts staff, including teachers of support for disabled children. In short, it is terrible to think that the funds for the premiums on an alleged human resources resulting from the cuts and the right to education of the disabled? But then, the real purpose of the drama, what is? The exclusion of collective bargaining when they go to determine salary increases for teachers . No coincidence that in recent years the Minister has proposed to abolish the trade unions from the school. This is why the minister does not give certainty about fits of seniority and move tactically attention to the trials on the merits where, however, has no ideas, no money. As to the criteria used perdefinire merit, we take the output, the number of promoted. It's a sign of better school? I promote the raising of more votes, or can I get more qualified students just because I have no problem, or whose family can afford foreign language courses and remedial courses for a fee. So what? The merit of the school or for families? Odell government in which the school and family are OK? Or all together? Whatever you think, by this criterion, the premio'produzione 'should be schools of the most wealthy and risk dispersion aminor scolastica.Certamente not to those schools most in need, as suggested reading dell'articolo3 of our Constitution. Here, the most striking result of the application and strumentaledi forced on an ideology of an institution as complex and delicate as the school, especially when it comes to school, this is violent and irresponsible attack on the principles of subsidiarity , solidarity and support: the cornerstone of our Constitution and our democratic coexistence .
