Rome It is not the first time that happens, and perhaps it will not be the last, given the habit of schools to present themselves in an appealing (and sometimes clumsy) way: the Visconti high school, with its introduction for «high-bourgeois students and without disabled », two years ago he created a case. Like the one that broke out for the description of the school in via Trionfale: a relationship dating back to 2011 and that only yesterday, after the complaint of I read and the harsh position of Minister Lucia Azzolina has been removed.

“The headquarters in via Trionfale and the plexus in via Taverna – we read in the auto-presentation of the institute of Rome – welcome pupils belonging to middle-upper class families, while the complex of via Assarotti, located in the heart of the popular district of Monte Mario, welcomes pupils of medium-low social background and counts, among the enrolled, the greatest number of pupils with non-Italian citizenship “. On the plexus of via Vallombrosa we went even deeper: «The plexus on via Cortina d’Ampezzo mainly welcomes pupils belonging to upper middle class families together with the children of employees employed in these families (domestic workers, carers, drivers, and the like ). ”

A distinction that “goes according to the socio-economic rank of its students” “Against any value expressed by our Constitution”, underlines the secretary Peppe De Cristofaro. Azzolina urges: “It doesn’t make sense, the school should always work to encourage inclusion.” The principals insist: “There is a risk of originating class ideas or forms.” And the attempt to remedy the gaffe does not resolve the issue. “The data reported in the presentation of the school, consisting of four distinct complexes, in different socio-cultural contexts, are to be read as a mere socio-economic description of the territory, according to the indications of the MIUR for the preparation of the Pof (training offer plan, ed). The institute has never discriminated in the distribution of pupils in the different centers or in the different classes “, the school council defends.

So, all the fault of the Miur’s indications? It does not seem. The Rav, the school’s self-assessment document, published on scuolainchiaro.it, lists the institute’s weaknesses and strengths. But in a very different way. «The socio-economic context is uneven since the reference territory, which insists on two Municipalities, includes sections of the population belonging to the upper class and areas in which the presence of families of non-Italian citizenship is high, socially disadvantaged. The percentage of pupils with special educational needs reaches 9% of the total school population. The analysis of the presence of pupils with non-Italian citizenship compared to the total population of the individual complexes reveals inhomogeneities: Triumphal 30%, Assarotti 29%, Taverna 19%, Vallombrosa 7%. For first grade secondary school (…) 25% ». An aseptic description. “As expected from a principal like Nunzia Marciano, open to society,” said Mario Rusconi, president of the Lazio principals.

The 58 year old, Neapolitan of origins but Roman of adoptions, in fact, she is known as the battalion principal who held Carlo Pisacane 11 years ago, the Roman school with 90% of immigrant students, who attracted criticism from the then mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno (An), and provoked the Gelmini circular for the ceiling of 30% of immigrants in the classroom. A forward-looking leader, who would have liked to name the Pisacane, which hosted 24 different ethnic groups, to Tsunesaburo Makiguchi and his model inspired by peace and mutual respect. But it was forbidden.
