Sit-in Plan against Gelmini
December 18 16 hours before Parliament (P. Montecitorio)
Plan Gelmini, containing the government's education policy and the measures which have mobilized against the powerful movement of the people of the public school, is in the approval Council of Ministers tomorrow. If we look at the floor for the first cycle (and nursery), the one that started the protest anti-Gelmini, is not really the case of singing victory, as many s, recklessly or instrumentally, they're doing. The fact that the minister photographer articulation of the project:
"There is no reverse gear. We have not changed my mind on the single master. It must be clear that the model of the three teachers in two classes no longer exists. If the families choose the 'hours to 24 hours the class the teacher will have one, if they opt for the longer time it will be joined by other teachers. " In the latter case, the teacher will say that is prevalent and such a unique teacher-supported by teachers of all "marginal" in the conduct of the class, while the modules disappear and the "equal dignity" in the group teaching, the teaching model unit and college full time. Then, on the overall size of the Plan provides for the launching of "compensatory measures necessary to ensure the overall targets for the reduction of places of work" (132 thousand posts in less than three years and 8 billion less for schools), ie compliance with the "safeguard clause" of the cuts imposed by Tremonti, Brunetta.
Certainly, this is accompanied by a slowdown in the project destructive and operation of "makeup" of the Plan, which shows how much he recorded the protest movement, but that should not obscure the persistent ugliness of what you try to cover with the paint. The cuts of materials to be postponed for more than a year, but are not canceled and still remain the same due all'elevamento del numero medio di alunni per classe, alla parificazione a 18 ore degli orari di cattedra, al decurtamento dei posti per gli ATA.
Dunque, il conflitto resta aperto, e sarebbe un errore catastrofico tirare i remi in barca, in particolare in occasione del Consiglio dei Ministri che intende approvare il "pacchetto" Gelmini-Tremonti. Per questo invitiamo docenti, Ata, studenti e genitori a partecipare all'iniziativa di protesta contro il Piano Gelmini che abbiamo organizzato a Roma per giovedi 18 alle ore 16 davanti al Parlamento a P.Montecitorio. I soldi pubblici vadano alla scuola pubblica, ai salari, alle pensioni, alla sanità, al risanamento ambientale e non a banche fraudolente, speculatori e industriali.
