BOLZANO. “Schools must be inclusive to be successful. Creating special classes would not lead to the desired results anyway and, moreover, they are not foreseen by the law or by the coalition agreement.”
The South Tyrolean governor says so Arno Kompatscher regarding the class with only ‘non-Germans’ at the Goethe elementary school in Bolzano. The president of the autonomous province instead breaks a lance for preparatory interviews and for dialogue that “are needed to find targeted and considered solutions, in the interest of everyone: of the class and of the student”.
Kompatscher recalls that the Province is already intervening in schools with the most problematic situations by assigning more support and language teachers, “but certainly not by creating special classes”. “The school – he continues – wants to be inclusive with differently abled students and this also applies to those who have special language learning needs”. Kompatscher, finally, says he is “perfectly in line” with the competent councilor Achammer. “With populism we are not going anywhere”, he concludes.
