“We have already allocated over 2 billion for the return to school – explained the minister – we have been working for months. With the Protocol that has just been signed, we have intervened in support of the most fragile situations and people. Regarding the distancing, we intervene where there are the most numerous classes, which are concentrated above all in secondary schools in the urban suburbs.
Only Anief did not sign the agreement, confirming the free collective appeal to the Court of Rome to challenge it together with Law Decree no. 106 in contrast to EU Regulation no. 953/21, after having collected one hundred thousand signatures in six days for its abolition.
The draft Security Protocol circulating in these hours, as you can read on the Tuttoscuola.com website, provides preferential lanes for the vaccination of school staff through priority access.

The Ministry of Education specified in the evening that in the Protocol “there is no provision, nor has it ever been thought of providing, for a free swab mechanism for the so-called no vax”. “The Protocol, on the other hand, provides for a preferential lane for staff who have yet to get vaccinated, therefore an intensification of the vaccination campaign – explains a note – the Protocol, then, tracing what is already established today by the regulations in force, allows schools, on the basis of a preventive institutional connection with the extraordinary Commissioner for the health emergency, to ‘carry out diagnostic swabs to the staff through agreements with the Local Health Authorities or with affiliated diagnostic structures’ “.
The Green pass node will in any case be contained in a specific note that the Administration will send to educational institutions in the coming days.
